3. Allegory Charts
Get out your Allegory Charts! Thanks to our reading yesterday, we should have been able to spot three terms…
Karl Marx - A economist and philosopher; developed the idea for Communism
Marxism - An economic system based upon the ideas of Marx; in Marxism, the public shares equal ownership of all business, industry, and farming
L’Internationale - The inspiring French anthem used by many groups desiring change; was used to inspire the Russian people to overthrow the tsar
Vladimir Lenin - A true follower/believer of Marxism, led the Russian Revolution and became one of 3 original revolutionary leaders of the Soviet Union (with Stalin and Trotsky), but died before seeing it through.
What do you think? How is each term symbolized in Animal Farm?
