And by writing Animal Farm, he wanted to show what societies would be like if this trend were taken too far. According to him, this leads to the absolute eradication of justice and the situation in which every citizen of such a society lives under severe oppression and total misery. He wrote his work using an allegorical literary device to warn humanity of the dangers that tyranny brought.
