Abstract:
This study aimed at analyzing the literary devices as depicted by George Orwell's Novels Animal Farm and Nineteen Eight Four "with the reference to allegory, satire and personification'. The analytical method has been used in this study. The Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty Four are critically analyzed by selecting extracts from these novels to collect the data and related studies as secondary resources written on both novels. The results of study have shown that George Orwell presented the slogans of the political Party "communist" in Nineteen Eighty-four". These slogans are, "War is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength.” The party believed that they could endlessly engage in a war to keep peace in the country. This slogan describes the reality of accepting two mutually opposing beliefs simultaneously as correct. This was also a major program of the party to promote “double thinking.” Orwell is using animal allegory in his attack on Stalinism –just a refresher satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly politics and other topical issues. On the other hand, the idea of Big Brother focuses on the way of domination and control of people. Propaganda, totalitarianism and manipulation are the dangerous phases of Big Brother; they allow the cruel government to monitor its citizens. It aims to maintain control over citizens of Oceania. They are unique phases that show the real image of Big Brother and identify the exercises of absolute power practiced by the party. This study recommended that the esthetic and artistic values of Orwell’s novels such as figurative language empathy with animals, the rhetorical images should be examined. Some suggestions are also proposed for further studies.
