Show transcript
Animal Farm is a microcosm because it is a self-contained representation of a larger society and system. The windmill represents how progress can better a society, but can also be exploited. Food is used to symbolise luxury and inequality. Flags and rituals are used to both galvanise the animals and maintain control.
