Question
11. Look back at old Major's speech. Which of his statements about life on manor Farm under the rule of Mr. Jones are now
true of life on Animal Farm? Explain the irony in this situation.
Answer
Old Major's statement that the animals were worked hard, fed poorly, and had no freedom under Mr. Jones is now true of life on Animal Farm, as the pigs have taken on the same oppressive role as Mr. Jones. The irony is that the animals fought for freedom and equality, only to find themselves in a similar situation as before.
