Answer: to expose and condemn the corruption and character flaws of the pigs.
Explanation (brief): Orwell’s satire in Animal Farm skewers the leaders who betray the revolution—he uses irony, parody and inversion (pigs taking human privileges, changing the Seven Commandments, Squealer’s propaganda) to reveal their hypocrisy and moral decay. The comic elements serve a critical purpose: to show how those in power manipulate language and institutions to justify selfish corruption.
