Ethos Pathos Logos In Animal Farm

eorge Orwell uses rhetorical appeals (the three elements of persuasion) to draw attention to his allegorical tale of the Russian Revolution, Animal Farm. Ethos, pathos and logos is shown throughout the text.
Animal Farm talks throughout the book of how Squealer, the pig, talked swiftly to the animals to make them believe things that are not true, which is an example of ethos. For instance, he says, “a most terrible thing has be discovered. Snowball has sold himself to Frederick of Pinchfield Farm, who is even now plotting to attack us and take our farm away from us.” Snowball was later said to never had been to, or even been on Pinchfield Farm. Squealer had made the animals believe this. Logos comes into act when Squealer gives details about

what or why the pigs are getting special treatment. He makes the injustice sound as if they are a necessity of life. For example, when they pigs were taking the apples and milk from the cow. They were telling the other animals, “Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object is taking these things is to preserve or health.” The pigs were really just being selfish. Pathos is a quality that evokes pity or sadness. The dogs executed many different animals within the book. The text says, “In the old day there had often been scenes of bloodshed equally terrible, but it seemed to all of them that it was far worse now that it was happening among themselves.” The farm animals didn't like the killing. They was afraid to say a word due to fear of the dogs.
Ethos, pathos, and logos is shown throughout the text in many different ways it's clear. The animals turn against each other, lie to each other, and also kill for each other. With swift talking and cruelness the farm shows rhetorical appeals.
