essay: politics and the english language
In paragraph 13 of “Politics and the English Language,” Orwell tells the reader that, when observing the typical politician speak, “one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy.” What does the metaphor of the “dummy” bring to Orwell’s argument?
