Why did Orwell call Animal Farm a fairy story?

It's possible that Orwell titled the novel this way to draw attention to the hierarchical and often unjust nature of human societies, comparing them to a farm where animals have different statuses and struggles.

The subtitle 'A Fairy Story' is a bit deceptive. It makes the reader expect something light and magical, but in reality, 'Animal Farm' is a deep critique of political systems. Orwell used this subtitle to draw readers in and then shock them with the serious message.

The story of Animal Farm is a satirical allegory about a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer and try to create a society of their own, but it soon descends into tyranny and corruption.

The subtitle 'a fairy story' in Animal Farm might be used to present the tale in a more allegorical and symbolic way, making complex political themes more accessible and engaging for readers.

Because it has elements of fantasy and allegory. The characters and events represent larger concepts and ideas in a way that's similar to fairy tales.

The subtitle might suggest a comparison or contrast with typical fairy stories to emphasize the unique and perhaps allegorical nature of the story in Animal Farm.

It's called a fairy story because it uses animal characters and a simple narrative to convey deep political and social messages, similar to the way fairy tales often do.

Yes, it is. 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell is a well-known novel.

Orwell's 'Animal Farm' attacked totalitarianism and the corruption of power.

Not at all. 'Animal Farm' is a profound allegorical work that offers insights into power, corruption, and oppression. It's far from the light-hearted nature of a fairy story.
