      The boys in the book, The Lord of the Flies, are controlled by their fear of the beast.  This fear is not of the beast itself, but of the unknown. It comes from not knowing whether or not a beast exists.

Fear can control a lot of things, and can make people do some things they wouldn’t normally think about. It can pull people together, or push them apart. In Lord of the Flies it pushes the boys apart. But in The Village it pulls them together. In both cases, the fear wasn’t real. The beast from LOTF and “those they don’t speak of” in The Village. Fear plays a big role in both of these. I believe fear is an easy thing to overuse and control people with, in LOTF and The Village they use fear as a way of power and controlment.

It’s the years following World War II, and tension is high. A group a British school boys needed to crash their plane in the ocean and swim to the shore of an uninhabited island. The island have pigs, water, and other valuable resources they need in order to survive. Once they appear on the island, they decided to set up rules and laws to govern their miniature society. A twelve year old boy disagrees with the laws they had originally set up and a rebellion starts to brew within the group. Now the trouble begins. This is the plot line of the book The Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Golding claims that fear brings out the worst in people. These rules, originally made for their own comfort, can be compromised by fear. In the case of the The Lord of the Flies, the children fear a creature called beastie. Fear can cause chaos and make people doing things they don’t normally do. The fear brings out the worst in people and it starts with beastie and leads to a the rebellion of Jack, and the demise of Simon and Piggy.

In the story I predict that the children will end up not meeting Boo, because they are too scared to even walk across the sidewalk by his house. The children were playing baseball and they threw the ball over the fence, and said it is gone forever. That is how scared they must be to not even try and go get it. The children think that he will do the worst possible thing if they even consider getting their ball back. The children believe that if they walk near his house or even grab something by his house that Boo will come out and kill them all. Therefore many of the children are scared because the they believe that Boo will come and hurt them. Some of the kids also say that he goes up to their windows at night and watches them sleep, and if

Fear is a destructive emotion because it can lead to all kinds of evil. The morning after Simon's death Piggy and Ralph are talking,”we was scared!!..anything might of happened”(Golding 156). Piggy is trying to find an explanation on why he was part of Simon's murder and tries to play it off as an accident. He was saying that because he is scared it doesn't matter that he killed someone, that fear took control of him and it was out of his hands, thus leading to evil. Jack at this point in the story and has given up all hope of being rescued and is now hunting Ralph. “ He forgot his wounds, his hunger and thirst, and became fear; hopeless fear on flying feet, rushing through the forest towards the open beach”(Golding 200). Fear is leading to all kinds of evil in this piece of text because Jack has given up on being saved so he is facing the fact that he needs all the power to survive. After Jack realizes this and is fearful he turns to evil and tries to kill Ralph while Ralph is trying to get away.

When Simon comes to tell the other boys what he had seen (the dead parachutist on the mountain top) the boys formed a “new tribe” under Jack’s leadership saying “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!” When they were done with their “dance” Simon was dead. That’s when you realize how much the group of boys has changed and that they are really going crazy and they can’t help it.

A distressing emotion aroused by impending evil and pain, whether the threat is real or imagined is described as fear. Fear is what William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies encompasses. By taking three major examples from the novel, fear will be considered on different levels: Simon’s having no instance of fear, Ralph’s fear of isolation on the island, and Jack’s fear of being powerless. Fear can make people behave in ways that are foreign to them, whether their fear is real or imagined. In response to fear, people may act defensively by attacking, fear can either stop one from doing something, or it can make one behave in an irrational erratic manner.

Courage is mythic theme in The Lord of the Rings that is constant. Every character demonstrates courage at one time or another and the strength they receive because of it. Of these characters, Sam is one of the most courageous exhibits immense strength in multiple moments in the novels. Sam is continuously put into peril and at any moment he could turn back, and no one would judge, but he continues on. In Book Four particularly, Sam’s character really shines.

Advancing into the plot of Lord of the Flies, We discover fear and how it drives the group apart and eventually leads to the killing of more. Just like any fear, it starts off small and grows larger as the plot progresses. The monstrousness Beasty is the main reason why the group split apart in the first place, this figment of imaginary deception has ignited a fear that drives the boys to do inconceivable things. Not only did this start a rampage of killing, It also led to the separation of Jack’s group and Ralph's group. Some of the boys denied the idea of a beasty and wanted to confront the fear, “we’ve got to talk about this fear and decide

Is evil only seen by Humans?
