Abstract

This thesis explores the social criticism embedded in George Orwell’s literary works, particularly in Animal Farm and 1984. Through allegory, satire, and dystopian narratives, Orwell critiques political systems, social inequalities, and the abuse of power. By examining his works through the lens of social criticism, this study highlights Orwell's warnings about the dangers of totalitarianism, the manipulation of truth, and the degradation of individual freedoms. The thesis compares Orwell’s socio-political concerns with contemporary issues, demonstrating the enduring relevance of his critique.
