Answer 1

Answer:

He uses Squealer's character to parody a naïve follower of a corrupt leader.

He uses reversal to show that dictators do not abide by their principles.

Explanation:

George Orwell's Animal Farm is a fictionalized yet a representational story of how humans especially the Russian government where Stalin was the 'dictatorial' ruler. This story is an allegory of the very same Russian government where people topple their leaders for a new ruler only to be under the very regime they are fighting against in the first place.

The passage from Chapter 5 of the text shows the plan to rebuild the windmill. But through this, we come to know about the leader Napoleon who uses his 'cunning' to rule over the animals in the farm. By opposing the human masters, they had fought for the democracy they believed they would get but which only turned out to be a farce. Napoleon eventually took over the reins of the ruler, acting as if he is the official leader of the whole animals in the farm. Squealer's character is of particular interest for he epitomizes a naive follower of a corrupt ruler, a dictator who did not abide by the rules he himself had made but expects the others to adhere to it.
