“Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. And remember also that in fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him. Even when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices. No animal must ever live in a house, sleep in a bed, wear clothes, drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, touch money, or engage in trade. All the habits of Man are evil. And, above all, no animal must ever tyrannize over his own kind. Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. No animal must ever kill any other animal. All animals are equal.” What literary devices/techniques are in this quote?

Answer:

Zoomorphism, Anthropomorphism, Allegory, Foreshadowing, Metonymy, Paradox, Satire, and Symbolism

Step-by-step explanation:

(in order)

Zoomorphism - giving animalistic traits to someone human (such as calling someone a busy bee)

Anthropomorphism - giving human traits to non-human things (such as objects, animals, or the weather. this is the same as personification)

Allegory - is used throughout Animal Farm, allegory is having a deeper message than the words themselves (such as the Tortoise and the Hare)

Foreshadowing - when a detail or same-circumstance is said in the book before it actually happens. (leaving out key details that make the story the actual story. such as stating "never play with matches" in the first chapter then later in the book someone plays with matches by a gas stove burning down an entire neighbourhood because the only firefighters were busy at a fundraiser that was for the said kid, playing with matches.)

Metonymy - is a form of symbolism, although a metonym doesn’t just symbolize something else, it comes to serve as a synonym for that thing or things — typically, a single object — embodies an entire institution.

Paradox - meaning beyond belief, is a statement that asks people to think outside the box by providing seemingly illogical — and yet actually true — premises.

Satire - writers use satire to make fun of some aspect of human nature or society — usually through exaggeration, ridicule, or irony.

Symbolism - is like Metonymy, only authors turn to tangible symbols to represent abstract concepts and ideas in their stories. symbols typically derive from objects or non-humans — for instance, a dove might represent peace, or a raven might represent death.
