Talk:Animal Farm

Clover

It's not really important, but in the description of Clover, Boxer is referred to as a female. Someone change it?

Popular Culture / Television / Archer

There's a reference in the season 3 finale of Archer, Space Race, in which one of the astronauts says "I didn't sign up for 'Animal Farm' in space!", prompting a discussion of the book. Seems notable to me. Googling "animal farm in space" turns up multiple references to the episode. 50.24.51.203 (talk) 18:53, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Literal/animal readings

Re recent partial reversion: I added context from the McHugh source (now linked) making it clearer why these critics cite the Ukrainian preface, as well as what Orwell was saying. The source quality here is pretty good—McHugh is a literary scholar describing a school of Animal Farm criticism, with historical analysis and citing names, dates, and publications that amply support the existence of this school (and therefore its deserving mention here). I named two more notable critics she puts in this camp per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV; I don't think it's necessary to add the primary sources in which they actually advance their argument, since we have the secondary source, but don't feel strongly about that.

It's a bit awkward to reference the preface anecdote in two places, #Origins and #Significance and allegory, but I think it makes sense because they're doing different work: in #Origin, it's relatively neutral and for historical interest, while in #Significance it's being cited by scholars trying to advance an argument about ways to interpret the book.

Change the spelling in on the word realise to realize, the spelling is incorrect. It is located in the last sentence of the Plot Summary. 24.119.34.33 (talk) 01:01, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

 Not done This article is about an English novel by an English author, first published in England. It uses British English, in which "realise" is the correct spelling. See WP:ENGVAR. General Ization ^Talk 01:03, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Another Tragedy

Nothing stated here mentions the parallels to Capitalism, Democracy, Aristocracy in general, or other Western parallels.

In fact, the reason it was banned, was probably not because of the references to Russia, but the comparison of Russia to England, as in Nineteen Eighty Four.

Animal Farm; another casualty of Wiki drive-by articles and pro-Western/UK bias, salivating on Russophobe content. Seriously...

This is the 4th or 5th propaganda page I've come across on Wiki regarding popular and classic literature. What a disaster. 69.158.176.133 (talk) 05:14, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
