In Orwell's book Animal Farm he uses very effective representation of real people through animals. The way he relates certain classes of people to certain farm animals in the book was amazing. He used pigs to represent the government, Stalin and Lenin mostly. He did it all in a very comical way to some people. He used he strong horse Boxer to represent the work forces in the communities. And along with those he used many other metaphorical representations.
I think that he used this form of characterizing so that he wouldn't have to so boldly say what it was that he was thinking. I mean to those of us that have read the book and spent lots or time analyzing and going over the contents and hidden messages we can see very clearly what it is he was trying to say. But i think if he would have simply wrote it all out alot of people wouldn't have taken the time to read the book. He made it alot more fun and interesting with the animals.
