Analysis Of 1984

lot of propaganda from Squealer. He makes the animals believe that

everything is all right on the farm. There are also many types of

propaganda used, ranging from glittering generalities to scare tactics.

An example in Animal Farm where scare tactics are used is when

Squealer asks the animals if they want Jones back. In 1984, the

telescreens are a way of using propaganda. Some of the types of

propaganda in used in 1984 are scare tactics, glittering generalities

(Type B and Type C Vocabulary), and the bandwagon effect. The

relevance of propaganda in today s world is that it is everywhere,

especially in commercials. In particular, the commercials for toothpaste

which uses the appeal to science type propaganda.

Another message in Animal Farm and 1984 is education. The

animals in Animal Farm were not educated enough to overthrow the

government, that is why the animals killed all of the smart animals. In

1984, Winston and the people were educated until the point where they

wouldn t be able to do any harm to the government. All the people in

both novels were educated only to a point because if they had as much

intelligence as the leader, than they would have the power to overthrow

the totalitarian government. This message is also in our world today

through the government of the United States. The government does not

educate us on information that they don t want us to know or else we

may be able to overpower them.

In conclusion, these are the messages in the novels Animal Farm

and 1984. They are power corrupts, propaganda, and education. So, the

next time someone reads a book, they should be able to pick out the

message that the author is trying to say.
