Meaning:
Why did Orwell shoot the elephant? Because he did not want to be humiliated by the “natives.”

Describe the epiphany that Orwell experiences in the course of the event he writes about. Orwell has an epiphany when he realizes that when the white man turns into a tyrant, he destroys his own freedom.

I think Orwell means that he is glad that the coolie is killed because it gave him a legitimate reason to kill the elephant even though he killed the elephant for all the wrong reasons.

Language:
When Orwell says the elephant had gone must he means that the elephant had gone mad and broke loose from his chains.

Orwell’s use of adjectives is very effective in describing the death of the elephant. I was really visualizing the elephant being helpless, just lying in the field, dying a slow death. These adjectives shows pathos and Orwell no longer could take the sad feeling he had after shooting the elephant. The adjectives show that Orwell felt like he made the wrong decision.
