Introduktion
"Animal Farm" by George Orwell unfolds in a rural English setting, its precise historical era left deliberately undisclosed. Within this allegorical narrative lies a striking resemblance to the social and political landscape of the former Soviet Union.

Much like the Soviet Union, the novel features a predominantly peasant population that derives its livelihood from the land.

The resonance with Soviet life is vividly portrayed not only in the novel's environmental descriptions but also in its nuanced connotations. While the exact period remains ambiguous, it is stated that the story unfolds during midsummer: "This was early in March.

During the next three months, there was much secret activity" (p. 15). Midsummer typically spans from May to June, aligning with the three-month timeframe mentioned in March.

Beyond temporal considerations, the setting encompasses various physical aspects. In "Animal Farm," the physical setting, while not central, significantly influences the novel's mood.

The narrative constructs a fantastical environment that serves as a conduit for addressing broader themes.
