Taking Bozkurt's (1977) classification into consideration, Animal Farmwould be said to be a Juvenial satire. His characters are real persons that can be found in thesociety as they are described in the play. After spending very poor days in Paris, Orwell went to Spain to fight forthe Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Since people look at life from different stand points, as matter of fact,they naturally perceive it in numerous ways. Afterrevolution working classes would own the means of production. Since, laughter loosen muscles andis anatomically relaxing. Old Major, the prize MiddleWhite boar, wants to tell them about a strange dream he had. To him, in order to achieve this end the only way was a revolutionmade by the working class or the Proletariat against the Bourgeoisie. There he witnessedoppression again, but this time he was looking at things from the top. 125)Shortly after he published Animal Farm, Orwell (1947) in his essay titled"Why I Write" wrote about his goals in writing his book:Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness ofwhat I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into onewhole. Manypeople thought (and still think) that the book reveals Orwell's oppositionto the ideology that was prevailing in Russia. In this chapter, definition of satire ispresented and some important characteristics of satire are discussed.
