Snowball

• 'Animal Committees'- Symbolism

  Everyone is included within a communist state.

  There are slogans and groups to convince you that the leaders are working for your benefit.
• 'Animal Committees'
• 'Snowball at the head of them'- Symbolism

  Leaders of a revolution will fight for their own kind.

  They will inevitably lose power due to others wanting their power.
• 'Snowball at the head of them'
• 'An organ of propulsion'- Irony

  There is a limit to language.

  What Snowball is saying is meaningless but is accepted due to his social stature.

  Animalism is reduced to basic ideas that are not representative.
• 'An organ of propulsion'
• 'He was running as only a pig can run'
• 'He was running as only a pig can run'- Irony

  Snowball has become so caught up in ideals that he loses power and his true self is revealed.

  Violence always triumphs.
• 'Very quietly', 'Shouting down a passionate appeal'- Juxtaposition

  The tones of the two contrasting leaders demonstrate the power of emotion.

  Snowball wins them over by appealing to their emotion, this is dangerous for the pigs.
• 'Very quietly', 'Shouting down a passionate appeal'
• 'Snowball! He has been here! I can smell him distinctly!'- Triadic Exclamation

  Snowball has become abstract.

  He is used as a scapegoat.
• 'Snowball! He has been here! I can smell him distinctly!'
