the card people.

being painted and the croquet game being
outside

represent the common person being toyed
and ordered around by the king and queen

represents the reign of Queen Victoria

representing the people of the croquet
game

• Le Morte de Arthur-Nobility and the
importance of the king and queen are
similar
• Animal Farm- talking animals, and the
animals represent government officials in
real-life
Analysis

people of the court are only a pack of
cards that their nature does not make
them any less dangerous

rely on rank and costume for their status
• The theme of games, and learning their
rules, is a central in this chapter
