Wuthering Heights:
It was published in 1847 under the pseudonym of Ellis Bell. Emily Bronte probably began writing this novel towards the end of 1845, though it is possible that she may have conceived the story earlier: It was completed by the summer of 1846.
To make comparison between Lord of The Fly and Animal Farm.
Each work it has only one general aim. and there is a difference between themes, aims and objectives. the writer has more than one object and different themes but there is only one general aim.

Plot Summary

Introduction to Animal Farm
In 1947 George Orwell said, “Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole.” He also stated, “The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude. ... Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it ... it is invariably where I lack a political purpose that I wrote lifeless book...”
Communism and Socialism
A little knowledge of communism will aid one's understanding of Orwell's Animal Farm, for he is beastly in attacking the communist doctrine in the work. Communism is a political doctrine.
