Question

Which the windmill symbolize in the story?
Marxism
technology
revolution
capitalism

Answer 1

In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the windmill symbolizes revolution and the hope for a better future through collective effort. Initially conceived as a means to improve the farm's productivity and the animals' lives, the windmill ultimately becomes a tool for manipulation and exploitation by the ruling class (the pigs). It reflects the struggles and sacrifices of the animals, as well as the betrayal of the revolutionary ideals they fought for. While it can also be interpreted in the context of Marxism (as a representation of the working class's labor), the primary symbolism tied to the windmill revolves around the theme of revolution and the disillusionment that often follows.
