Abstract

 Animal Farm' is a satirical novel written by George Orwell that tells the story of farm animals who revolt against a human farmer. George Orwell, in his novel Animal Farm, takes an event in history and interprets it to show his point of view. Animal Farm retells the story of the Russian Revolution and the rise the power of Joseph Stalin. Through his novel, Orwell hoped to show that the result of the Revolution was a more oppressive and controlling government than the people had worked to overthrow. The characters in the novel represent the political figures of that time, and Orwell even mirrors similar actions and events. In this paper, the writer concentrated on the idea of rebellion and how it is developed through the events of the novel by using concordance and semantic prosody as tools of corpus linguistics to interpret the idea of rebellion how it is begun and how it is ended.
