The irony in the novel is divided into two aspects; verbal irony and situational irony. There are three characters who perform the irony. They are Napolleon, Squeller, and animal worker. Napollean as the leader treats the animal unfairly and utilizes his power. Ironically, the animal workers get more sufferings under Napolleon’s power.Betrayal is the leader’s way to take over the domination. Hopes and the dreams which deal with prosperity will be only propaganda that is played by the leader through Squerrel. The irony itself influences the plot and characterization of the novel.
