Explanation:

The passage is from Orwell’s Animal Farm, a satirical work. Pilkington’s "lower classes" vs. the pigs’ "lower animals" draws a parallel (parody) between pigs and real-world human leaders who exploit subordinates. His choking and purple chin (exaggeration) make him ridiculous, mirroring the pigs’ hypocrisy. Satire here also fosters contempt for the pigs’ exploitation of other animals. Ridicule does not frame him as beneath animals, and reversal does not make him likable.
