Squealer

A definite form of propaganda here. I always felt that Squealer represented propaganda, because he was an excellent speaker, and he carried the words of Napoleon. In this type of propaganda, the animals (represents the working class) are repeatedly told that Napoleon (Stalin) is doing good for them and take advantage of the animals' naiveness to brainwash and imprint the message, "Napoleon is always right. He is doing good for you." in the animals' head. I also noticed that he distorts the truth at times in order to convince the animals. I thought that this is a very effective propaganda technique, because it always succeeds to rid the animals' doubts by stating over and over again that Napoleon is doing good for them. However, I also thought that it was condescending in the way it takes advantage of the animals' naiveness to take over their thoughts and minds.
