Titel 3 Værklæsning: George Orwell: "Animal Farm"

Studieplan: Animal Farm

This course is focused on Orwell's 1945 novel Animal Farm. We work with the allegorical and satirical nature of Animal Farm, in order for students to be able to critically analyze the novel.
We primarily focus on the following literary elements: symbolism, narrative technique, main themes, and characterization.
Finally, we watch "The Wave" (1981), in order to create a perspective to fascism as a highscool "experiment" (in 1967, California) and as something very real, that maybe exists today - for example on the news right now with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, ICE and MAGA.

Literature: George Orwell: Animal Farm, 1945 (Systime edition, 2021)
Film: "Animal Farm" - Cartoon, Animation, (1954) a British-American animated drama and propaganda film commissioned by the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
