what was most likely orwell's purpose for writing this
passage?
as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with
tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would
have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at
when they had set themselves years ago to work for the
overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and
slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on
that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if
she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been
of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip,
all equal, each working according to his capacity, the
strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost
brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major's
speechinstead-she did not know why—they had come
to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce
growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to
watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to
shocking crimes. there was no thought of rebellion or
to show that clover is more sensitive to violence than
the others
to remind readers of major's speech and the original
rebellion
to present napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the
animals' support
to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes
