Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.
But the luxuries of which Snowball had once taught the
animals to dream, the stalls with electric light and hot
and cold water, and the three-day week, were no longer
talked about. Napoleon had denounced such ideas as
contrary to the spirit of Animalism. The truest happiness,
he said, lay in working hard and living frugally.
How does Orwell use irony in this excerpt?
The text shows that if the animals work harder, they
will have luxuries they dreamed of.
O The text shows that Napoleon's dreams conflict with
the dreams of the animals.
O The text shows that the animals expected a different
outcome than the reality they are facing.
The text shows that Snowball and Napoleon never
meant to mislead the other animals.
