DISCUSSION QUESTION 1. • Discuss Boxer. What role does he play on the farm? • Why does Napoleon seem to feel threatened by him? • In what ways might one view the betrayal of Boxer as an alternative climax of the novel (if we consider Napoleon’s banishment of Snowball as the true climax)?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 2. • Paying particular attention to the character of Squealer, how is language used as an instrument of social control? • How do the pigs rewrite history?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 3. • Do you think Animal Farm’s message would come across effectively to someone who knows nothing about Soviet history or the conflict between Stalin and Trotsky? • What might such a reader make of the story?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 4. • Of all of the characters in Animal Farm, are there any who seem to represent the point of view of the author? • Which of the animals or people do you think come(s) closest to achieving Orwell’s perspective on Animal Farm?
