Literature has served as a mirror to real life, reflecting the complexities of human nature, offering insight into the dynamics of power, control, and resistance. Through the analysis of literary works such as Orwell’s Animal Farm and William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, there can be an exploration of the themes of governmental instability and manipulation of language and propaganda. As Haque (2016) notes in the study of Hamlet’s pursuit and procrastination regarding revenge, Shakespeare uses intricacies to showcase governmental instability and deception within the Danish court. While Guerrero (2018) provides insight into the language used in Orwell’s works, shedding light on the role of language in shaping perceptions and controlling the masses.
