Annotations of allegorical and historical characters in Mohammed Eidaraimi's translation of George Orwell's "Animal Farm"

الملخص EN

In the field of literature, there is a difference between real characters and the fictional ones.

A real character presents names of individuals whose identities are true in real life, the same way they are presented in the literary work.

An allegory is mainly a fiction story that helps in communicating messages that conveys diverse meanings.

The characters are more than what they seem in the story.

Some of them are used in representing ideas or events (DiYanni, par.1).

Allegory involves a story where the characters serve more than one purpose in the story.

Allegorical characters are usually fictional characters.

It is clear that the use of animals in Orwell's Animal Farm have helped the reader to relate the conduct of such animals as opposed to real Russians and their behavior.
