Lord of the Flies is narrated in a chronological order, narrated mainly on the island. However, there are some uses of flashbacks of the boys’ life in normal civilisation and foreshadows of events. An example identified in the novel is when Ralph recalls the security of living at home with his parents, safe from danger with him describing the “cottage on the edge of the moors” (pg.138). He also remembers that “everything was all right; everything good-humored and friendly” (pg.139). This memory that

In Chapter One, Golding refers to the “toy of voting” during the boys’ election and this means that they’re not

E.M. Forster suggests that William Golding’s writing “lays out a solid foundation for the horrors to come” in Lord of the Flies. This is true, due to Golding’s excessive amount of foreshadowing in the beginning of the novel that hints to the murders of two characters: Simon and Piggy.
