Explanation:

Shooting the Elephant is a novel story by George Orwell which helps in showing the effects of colonialism on both the colonizer and the colonized. This story likens the actions of the british coloniser towards the Burmese people despite the fact that the where not wanted.

Orwell, feels a similar ambivalence towards the elephant that he was about to kill as he does towards the Burmese locals whose liberty has been restricted as result of being entrapped and shackled.

The principal cultural conflict is that, the British does not want to leave the Burmese people, not because they never wanted to (being aware the Burmese people never wanted them as a colonizer ) but the fact that they don't want to look weak in the eyes of other countries, hence the reasons the persistently decided to stay in Burmese as a colonizer.
