"The Lion and the Unicorn" by George Orwell is a philosophical treatise that examines ideas of liberty, freedom, and political power. The author presents two opposing views on how society should be organized, proposing a blend of representative democracy and revolutionary revolution.
One protagonist is the charismatic Leo, who believes in freedom, equality, and a participatory government where each citizen has a voice in decision-making. Leo's democratic ideals align with his own ideal of "the lion," an animal whose strength and charisma inspire admiration and support.
The other protagonist is Emily, a radical activist who sees the oppressive state of society and desires a more emancipated future. Her vision is aligned with her ideal of the "unicorn," an animal of strength and wisdom with powerful influence on the surrounding environment.
Together, Leo and Emily challenge conventional perspectives of political philosophy and their convictions illuminate the many facets of contemporary thought. The perseverance of each character underpins George Orwell's argument for a novel concept of governmental freedom and purpose.
Ultimately, George Orwell draws our attention to the diverse roles that individuals play in shaping the public world, as we strive to realize the aims of both the lion and the unicorn.
