A STUDY OF CLASS IDENTITY AND SOCIAL CRITICISM IN GEORGE ORWELL'S WORKS

This thesis investigates the themes of class identity and social criticism in the works of George Orwell, focusing on major literary texts such as Animal Farm, 1984, The Road to Wigan Pier, and Down and Out in Paris and London. Orwell's representation of social structures, class divisions, and the critique of political systems reflect his personal experiences and ideological development. The study reveals that Orwell's work consistently challenges the injustices of hierarchical societies and warns about the corruption inherent in power. By employing political allegory, dystopian fiction, and realistic reporting, Orwell provides a timeless critique of inequality and oppression.
