I think he was trying to smite the British with shame for their racist views.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-30833355769181869792015-03-23T03:58:06.138-07:002015-03-23T03:58:06.138-07:00Another great post Sharon.

Even when I disagree a bit, I find your views well thought out and thought provoking.<br /><br />I have not read this but I have read Nineteen Eighty For and Animal Farm. In those novels also I find that Orwell did not create the most complex or realistic characters. <br /><br />Also in those nooks, as important as some of his messages are, he seemed overwhelmed with despair over the human condition. Your commentary here leads me to believe that there is a sense of this in this book too.<br />Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
