Satire in Animal Farm (Chapters 3 and 4)

Satire allows writers and other artists to make fun of an event, person, or situation without directly addressing it. It also allows writers and artists to make political or social commentary on things that they consider injustices. Animal Farm is a satire of the Russian Revolution and the early development of the Soviet Union. Characters are made to represent real figures in history, and perhaps poke fun at their actions or decisions.
