Allegory: A story that can be read on 2 levels.

Animal Farm can be
read as a funny fable
about animals who
rebel against their
owner and take over
a farm in England,

the Russian
Revolution of 1917
with animals

make fun of people or events in order to
bring about change.
Irony
• Situational: We realize there is a difference
between what we expect to
happen and what really happens.
• Dramatic: We know something the
characters do not know…what is
stated on the page is different
from what is meant.
Themes

guarded very carefully.
