Which rhetorical device is used in the first two lines of the King's speech? "What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;" (4-5)

rhetorical question
restatement
parallelism

From the context given, I believe it's a rhetorical question.

Explanation:

"What's he that wishes so?" may be used to add some sort of dramatic effect, as he is not directly asking anybody in particular. There is no source of repetition, both sentences have no source of parellelism (no similar grammatical structure or pattern) or any restatement.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
