Detalles de la respuesta
The poetic device that forcefully brings together two seemingly unrelated ideas or concepts is called conceit. It is used to create a surprising and striking comparison between two things that are not alike, but share some similarities. It helps to create an imaginative and often elaborate analogy or metaphor. For example, in John Donne's poem "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning," he compares two lovers to the legs of a compass, which although separate, are still connected at the center.

Detalles de la respuesta
The allusion in the excerpt is biblical. The phrase "pass through the needle's eye" is a direct reference to a verse in the Bible (Matthew 19:24), where Jesus says, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." This biblical allusion suggests that the rich and guilty in society are so well-fed and comfortable that they cannot pass through the narrow gate of moral judgment and accountability. The "noose of public contempt" hanging idle at the market place further emphasizes the lack of consequence and punishment for their wrongdoing. Overall, this allusion highlights the theme of social inequality and the corrupting influence of wealth and power in society.

Periphrasis in poetic diction is marked by circumlocution. Circumlocution is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is replaced by a longer or more complex expression in order to convey a meaning in a more indirect or less offensive way. In other words, it is a roundabout way of saying something instead of directly stating it. This technique is often used in poetry to add elegance, variety, and depth to the language used.

The ideological leader of the revolution in George Orwell's Animal Farm is Old Major. Old Major is a wise old boar who is respected by all the animals on the farm. He is the one who comes up with the idea of a rebellion against their human owner, Mr. Jones, and teaches the animals the song "Beasts of England" which becomes the anthem of the revolution. Old Major is the one who inspires the animals to fight for their freedom and equal rights. He explains to them that their miserable lives are a result of the exploitation by humans and that they should rise up against them. Old Major's speech serves as a foundation for the principles of Animalism, which becomes the basis of the revolution. Although Old Major dies before the rebellion takes place, his vision and teachings remain at the heart of the animal's struggle for freedom. Therefore, he is considered the ideological leader of the revolution.
