Lord Of The Flies By William Golding

In Lord f the Flies, a group of young choirboys are stranded on a deserted island after their plane was shot down and crashed, and the boys interact with many different types of elements that symbolize distinctive thoughts and ideas. In William Golding’s most famous novel, Lord of the Flies, Golding expresses law, intellect, and purity through his characters.

Let’s be honest; being stranded on an island is a real nightmare. Now, imagine being stranded on an island with a bunch of kids! Though a group of kids may not sound too intimidating, when released from society's constraints and adult supervision, the saying “all’s well that ends well” certainly doesn't apply here. In the heavily famed novel Lord of the Flies written by Nobel Prize of Literature winner William Golding, a group of schoolboys from the age of six to twelve are caught in the midst of the next world war. As they are flying on a plane to escape the dangers on their hometown, they are shot down and crash-land on an island whose population of humans is zero. Once everything gets set in order, the boys begin creating their own society. They even elect a chief and make rules that everyone must follow. Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned, and with hostility rising between the characters as the book progresses, the fragility of human civilization is heavily explored upon in this exhilarating novel.

Human’s innate behavior after the constraints and expectations of society disappear is the recurring theme centering the characters. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies uses the righteous Simon to highlight Jack and his evil role throughout the novel of savagery and civilization. The foil characters in Lord of the Flies exhibit the contrasting ideals and characteristics, the dissimilar symbolism of both characters, and the circumstances which lead both characters to follow one’s natural tendencies. To emphasize the message of Lord of the Flies, two young innocent boys will gradually begin to show their individualism.

In his article, “Why Men Have a Problem with the Word ‘Feminism’”, author Martin Daubney explains how he doesn’t clearly like the word feminism. Though he believes in what the word stands for, equality and freedom of choice, irrespective of gender, sexuality or race, he is repulsed by the word feminists. This is because of how the word is perceived; the word feminism now tends to symbolize an aura of negativity. The reasons behind the negativity are the acts of the radical feminists. “All men are rapists”, that statement was supposedly said once but as is can’t be taken back it is all that the men tends to remember. What was supposed to be a positive message for the benefit of mankind became a word that gives people a personal bad attitude.

Everyone 's a critic. We critique everything we see. We critique people’s outfits, their sense of style, and even how they write. Imagine putting stories or novels out there for everyone to see. Well millions of writers get critiqued everyday on their writing especially Neil Gaiman. Neil Gaiman’s stories “How To Talk to Girls at parties”, “Cinnamon”, and “Stardust” all share one thing in common that a feminist critique would point out: the poor portrayal of woman. A feminist critique would point out the unfair bias or lack of equality. In all three of these pieces the woman are shown in different light as men.

Prior to the waves of feminism that continue today, it was expected that women were to behave in a specific manner. The feminists’ critics argue that women are often seen as less valuable than men, and inadequate individuals in the society, while men are represented as the directors or the controller of the family.

Feminist perspective developed with the ideology that women face large amounts of inequalities in a patriarchal society. They aimed to address and rid the social world of this oppression of women by men. According to Bishop, (2015) “oppression occurs when one group of people use different forms of power to keep another group down in order to exploit them. The oppressor uses the power; the oppressed are exploited” (p. 133-134). Oppression must be by individual experience and not grouped into being the same for all. This includes understanding the original ideology of feminist theory being critiqued as only considering the experiences of middle class, white women. That black women, of lower class experienced oppression much different from the other women. Women are oppressed, thus has to be understood in a different construct that women are similar in some sources, experience of oppression but also experience oppression very differently from one individual to another. Feminist theories have further been expanded do its continuation throughout society and decades to encompass many more issues and arenas than just men and women relationships. Now it seeks to understand and address oppression based on culture, race, class, etc and not only for women but for all. Therefore, Bishop (2014) outlines five components that seem common to all forms of oppression and serve to maintain its presence in society.
