Or again, if you want a stronger version of 'good', what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like 'excellent' and 'splendid' and all the rest of them?

In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words; in reality, only one word (Orwell 45 - 46). In essence, one of the main goals of Newspeak ...

Organized Religion Animal Farm
1,025 wordsReligion is said to be the opiate of the masses, and it is definitely a point of interest in George Orwell's famous novel Animal Farm.

Orwell's stance is rather apparent as Moses darts about the farm scene conveying the duality of Christianity quite superbly. At the first mention of the raven Moses, one immediately gets the impression that he sta...
