Question

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

"Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? . . . .

"And remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. No argument must lead you astray. Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades."

Scapegoating.

The passage blames humans for all the animals' problems, portraying them as the enemy and the cause of every evil — a classic example of scapegoating.
