Quote by George Orwell

All animals are equalBut some animals are more equal than others

All animals are equalBut some animals are more equal than ot

Summary

This quote, from George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm," illuminates the fallacy of equality in a society. While on the surface it suggests that all animals may have equal rights, it subtly reveals the existence of power dynamics and privilege. The phrase implies that certain individuals or groups within a society inevitably hold more power, influence, or societal standing than others, despite the principle of equality professing equality for all. Its cynical undertone underscores the perpetuation of inequality within societies that claim to uphold equality.

The hard core of morality and even of religion seems to me to be just what makes good comedy possible...Where there is no norm, nothing can be ridiculous, except for a brief moment of unbalanced provincialism in which we may laugh at the merely unfamiliar. Unless there is something about which the author is never ironical, there can be no true irony in the work.
