BACKGROUND

George Orwell famously shot an elephant in Burma when he was twenty-five years old and working as a colonial policeman. The animal, which had been in musth (a sexual period when male elephants are hyper aggressive), had just killed a man. Ordered by his superiors, egged on by the distrusting natives, he suddenly found himself public executioner — a violent role that stripped him of his humanity and dignity. This was 1927.
