George Orwell Preoccupation This paper examines a few of George Orwells more popular essays, anmely "Shooting of an Elephant" and "The Hanging" in an effort to see what motivated Orwell to write as he did, about where he did, and if possible to detect differences in his persona, as portrayed in his famous works, Animal Farm and 1984. Orwells essays were not really considered 'famous' until the publication of his two books, so perhaps the change in style reflected his awareness of a need for a more radical approach.
