Eric Arthur Blair, commonly known as George Orwell, led a fascinating life, moving from his work as a member of the Imperial Indian Constabulary to his first-hand experience of poverty in London and in Paris, going through the fighting. in the Spanish Civil War. Orwell's various life experiences gave him very strong political views which continued into his writing career, during which he addressed issues such as education, poverty and communism. George Orwell was a master of modern political satire, through which he powerfully illustrated the political and social issues of the 20th century. A Clergyman's Daughter, published in 1935, is a witty satire criticizing both English society and religious life. Orwell uses the life of the main character, Dorothy Hare, to show social injustices. He was particularly critical of the often very minimal distinctions between the different religious denominations in England (Means 55). Additionally, Orwell used the novel to illustrate the negative influence of money on the working class and the education system. Dorothy is treated the same as a slave by her father, forced to lead a life of drudgery and menial labor for her father with little return for herself (Orwell A Clergyman's Daughter 3). Orwell uses Dorothy as an example of the exploitation of the working class in England, who at the time were forced to do hard labor for little pay, causing much of the poverty in England. At the end of the novel, although Dorothy's journey is so revealing, traveling through poverty, homelessness, incarceration, and education, Dorothy once again finds herself in her father's care and is sent away in the virtual slave life she lived. started with.
