Question
read the passage from animal farm.
\you have heard then, comrades,\ he said, \that we pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse? and why not? you did not suppose, surely, that there was ever a ruling against beds? a bed merely means a place to sleep in. a pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. the rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. we have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets. and very comfortable beds they are too! but not more comfortable than we need, i can tell you, comrades, with all the brainwork we have to do nowadays. you would not rob us of our repose, would you, comrades? you would not have us too tired to carry out our duties? surely none of you wishes to see jones back?\
the animals reassured him on this point immediately, and no more was said about the pigs sleeping in the
which statement supports the idea that this passage is an allegory for totalitarian propaganda?
○ the animals agree that they do not wish to see jones back.
○ the animals want the pigs to sleep in the farmhouse beds.
○ the animals support the pigs’ decision to sleep an extra hour.
○ the animals do not complain about pigs in power breaking rules.
An allegory for totalitarian propaganda shows those in power bending rules without pushback, using fear (like Jones returning) to control. The pigs redefine the rule against beds to suit themselves, and the animals do not object, which mirrors how totalitarian regimes use propaganda to justify rule-breaking without public complaint.
