Humanity and Its Way of Being Lost

The Lord of the Flies by William Golding is an allegory that explores the instinctual evil humans possess and how this evil manifests into our societies. The book demonstrates this through young boys who are stranded on an island due to a plane crash. Despite their best efforts, the lack of adult guidance inhibits the boys from maintaining an orderly society. The boys turn to their survival instincts, many of which are evil. The lack of order exposes the internal savagery within the boys, resulting in an understanding of the flaws within all humanity. The Lord of the Flies uses the innocence of young boys to show the societal impact of human errors through their lack of adult supervision, the desire to inflict violence, and the need for authority over others.

Fragile. Naive. Innocent. These are all characteristics of children. Adolescence is a time to develop character, and learn valuable life lessons.

The boys are faced with many challenges, both internal and external. These hardships and the lack of structure caused the boys to revert to savage behavior. At first, being on the island seems like all fun and games, however, the boys come to realize the only beast was inside themselves. Golding’s depiction of childhood being a time of tribulation and terror proves to readers that without society to set rules in place, people will eventually regress and act savagely, because of lack of regulation, the pressure to conform, and the selection of Jack as the new leader.

The boys didn’t stop to think or ask what had been crawling out of the forest and just went straight to attacking Simon. After the incident fights broke out and Piggy and Ralph were ashamed because of their savage instincts. Of course, it is possible to disagree with the view that violence makes people not think before they act which could cause fights and uncivilized relationships between each other and instead argue that violence does not make people act before they think and that people are fully aware of their actions despite anything. However, stronger evidence is on the other side. What must be remembered is that once violence is introduced, people start to say or do things without being fully aware of exactly what is going on.
