Abstract

Animal Farm is considered one of the creations of political and social criticism, as Orwell established a satirical method in achieving a kind of humor to disdain the communist regime and criticize the dictatorial policy, using animals as a type of disparagement of the ruling class, because they were characterized by the dictatorial tone covered by socialism and democracy, and this is what made the author accurate even in choosing characters, method of dialogue, and moving between events. This paper is a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of political ideology in “Animal Farm”. A limited number of studies have applied essential theories of discourse to literary work in general and modern fiction in particular. Rogti (2019) [9] studies the techniques in teaching English literature according to CDA. Yasa (2020) [15] examines students' abilities to analyze literary works in higher studies, according to CDA.
Moreover, Hossain (2022) [4] studied Critical Discourse Analysis of Literary Texts from classes two to eight. To fill this gap in the study, the researchers use van Dijk's (1998) [11] ideological square and Wodak’s (2001; 2009) [10] discourse-historical. This study aimed to analyze the false democratic character and the artificial democratic representation represented by the government that came through the revolution to make it a type of rule and control over the people and also to analyze the characters according to the political representation and literary motive.
