How does the swan express the author's feelings?

Buffon did not introduce these animals with a completely objective attitude, but described them with friendly feelings and vivid language, thus describing them vividly, concretely and interestingly. In his works, the little squirrel is kind and lovely, the elephant is gentle and honest, and the pigeon couple love each other.

Buffon also tends to personify animals and give them some personality. Horses are brave and loyal warriors, and dogs are loyal servants, all of which are highly respected by Buffon. Woodpeckers work as hard as hard workers and get the sympathy of the author; Beaver is peaceful, without fighting, which aroused his yearning; He compared the wolf to a "worthless" cruel and cowardly tyrant and described the swan as a peaceful and enlightened monarch.

Buffon personified animals through bourgeois theory of human nature, which reflected his social and political views, showed his dissatisfaction with feudal autocratic politics, and entrusted his historical idealistic ideal of "enlightened monarch". His animal portraits have allegorical significance, and their implications are permeated with bourgeois positions and viewpoints.
