This essay will examine how Orwell portrays the characters and develops the plot in the last chapter of Animal Farm to demonstrate the satirical techniques used in the text, such as allusion, sarcasm, exaggeration, metaphor and irony, to indirectly undermine the Russian Revolution. Most of the characters allude to certain figures of the revolution. To present them subtly but suggestively, their names are carefully selected with implications on their personalities and roles. Take pigs for example. To parody Stalin, the pig Napoleon is named after Napoleon Bonaparte, who also turned the revolution into a dictatorship a century ago. Clarinet, the living Pravda, playing the role of Napoleon's "tongue and throat", takes its name from onomatopoeia. Likewise, the name Snowball not only recalls Trotsky's gray hair and beard, but also implies the pig's exile from the farm, as sooner or later he will melt. Other techniques such as sarcasm and exaggeration are also used to portray characters. For example, when describing Squealer, bitter and caustic language such as "Squealer was so fat he could barely see out of his eyes" and "not quite accustomed to supporting his considerable bulk in that position" is used to exaggerate and ridicule his obesity. However, the aim here is not to criticize him for being too fat, but to deliberately convey the writer's distaste for this topic and encourage the audience to adopt the same negative attitude unconsciously. Furthermore, many animals show one dominant trait throughout the story and all other personality traits are omitted. For example, Benjamin is an intelligent skeptic and always sticks to the “unalterable law of life” (p.50) even when all the other animals… in the center of the paper… in the foreground, in Orwell's book, l The Soviet Union or Stalin are not condemned because they are socialists, but because they betray and distort socialism. In conclusion, various techniques are used in the text to reveal the Soviet myth in a subtle way that can still be easily understood. In terms of the characters, a careful selection of their names that fit both their personalities and their roles helps maintain the implicative allusion. The techniques of sarcasm and exaggeration are also applied to present the author's instructive attitude towards the characters, exposing their weak points through simplified and easily recognizable traits. At the level of plot structure, the stark contrasts between multiple metaphors, between intentions and outcomes, between words and deeds, between dreams and reality all contribute to the dramatic and intense irony that effectively undermines the objective..
