"Shooting an Elephant"
Explanation:
George Orwell wrote his "Shooting an Elephant and Other Essays" in a narrative form. The essay was about the unjust shooting of an elephant, that too, not a wild one but a tame elephant.
The essay may also be metaphorically taken as the two identities of British imperialism. While the elephant represents the colonies, the victims of its imperialist actions, the executioner of the elephant represents the British authority, power, the imperial country/ kingdom. The narrative essay is Orwell's way of presenting the conflict between the two sides of imperialism, the conflict that he also faced as a police officer under the British but empathize with the colonies.
Thus, the correct answer is "Shooting an Elephant".
