Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explore the relationship between the narrative voice and the concepts of truth and complicity in Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’.

Show transcript
One interpretation might suggest that Orwell is using the narrator to say that truth is spoken in ordinary language. However, arguably, the narrator withholds information on the pigs’ behaviour rather than explicitly saying the truth. Furthermore, we may see the narrator as justifying the pigs’ actions and therefore being complicit in their oppression.
