In the sweltering, stifling heart of colonial Burma, a young British officer is drawn into a situation he never wanted—and cannot escape. Before him stands a crowd of expectant onlookers, and in his hands, a weapon he does not wish to use. The decision he makes will not be about a single animal—it will become a brutal revelation of the true nature of power, coercion, and the illusion of control. In Shooting an Elephant, George Orwell tells a story filled with tension and bitter irony, exposing the machinery of imperialism and its impact on the human psyche. A brief yet powerful account of a moment when the line between ruler and captive proves painfully thin.
