How was orwell treated by the local burmese?

Orwell appears as a symbol of colonial oppression to the burnese and is put in a position where he is the target of hate and disdain. They lash out verbally when they know they can get away with it. Orwell, playing his part, maintains the role of a British officer despite the conditions. The constant ridicule is also the factor that drives Orwell to complete the killing of the elephant. It isn't until after the incident he realizes true strength would have been in walking away.
