Read the passage from Animal Farm. What was most likely Orwell’s purpose for writing this passage? As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major’s speech. Instead she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessina to shocking crimes. O to show that Clover is more sensitive to violence than the others O to remind readers of Major’s speech and the original rebellion O to present Napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ support O to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives
