Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explore how Orwell presents apathy and complicity in ‘Animal Farm’.

Show transcript
Arguably, Benjamin's language conveys apathy throughout 'Animal Farm'. We might see Orwell as suggesting that Benjamin's apathy is a form of complicity. Potentially, we might see the animals’ complicity as allowing the pigs’ oppression. On the other hand, we might consider the pigs’ language as conditioning the animals to be complicit.
