The allegorical novella “Animal Farm” by George Orwell

The allegorical novella “Animal Farm” by George Orwell in 1945 (presented in the animation
link below) is the consummate representation of the expression, contradictions and conflicts of
Self, Culture and Society. The two broad political economies (capitalism and socialism)
showed representation in the storyline in the form of their advocacies, criticisms and
fundamental contradictions. It underscores the human nature how the Freudian theory of adult
personality of the mind works to promote self interest in decision making both for the collective
and the individual.
In your essay (in the format of Review/Op-ed), following an introduction that makes clear
your understanding of the story, attempt (either question 1 or 2) and 3:

1. Establish in a critical manner the fundamental contradictions in capitalism based on the
   animation underscoring your position using the 3 aspects (Ego, Id and Superego) of the
   Freudian theory.
   OR
2. Establish in a critical manner the fundamental contradictions in socialism based on the
   animation underscoring your position using the 3 aspects (Ego, Id and Superego) of the
   Freudian theory.
3. With your conclusion attempt to opine solutions to the contradictions you have discussed
   in the body of your essay.
