Animal Farm Part 1: The Summary of a Revolution
Notas del episodio
Welcome to a new year and a new series of the Satire Fire! We are starting the year off strong with the classic George Orwell novella Animal Farm. This is Orwell's first step into the socialist themes that would come to define his work. Here on an unassuming farm Orwell weaves a narrative of greed, revolution, and class struggle that has become a staple of modern English literature! Join us this week as we discuss the plot of the story, breaking down all the major beats so you are all caught up if it has been a while since you read it. Then join us again next week as our journey into the context of this book takes us on a trip through the Russian Revolution before we take on the task of analyzing and reviewing the story in Part Three!
