Lord of the Flies a Microcosm to Our Society

wrapping paper just as the characters in my novel ‘Lord of the Flies’ perfectly encompass the themes. The characters are portrayed in certain variations with the light – defining the good of society – and the dark – exhibiting the evil. Simon, a connection to nature, is depicted as a purified, orderly boy. Simon’s connection to nature is what he uses to keep the innocence and good within himself. Unfortunately as my novel is a microcosm of society, the good never stands a chance within the corruption

Imagine yourself in one of the characters shoes in the novel “Lord of the flies.” You would see yourself loaded with responsibilities, major decisions, etc. “Lord of the Flies” represents a microcosm of adult society. The island can act as a democratic government, demonstrate knowledge, and each character can demonstrate an aspect of adult society. William Golding was in the Royal Navy during WWII. He creates a smaller image for what’s really happening in the world. The conch is seen as one of the

Every mound of gifts has two contending sides of giving and receiving, my novel ‘Lord of the Flies’ discloses these conflicting sides within the correspondences of its themes: civilisation versus savagery and the loss of innocence. It is undoubted that these themes are blended into ‘Lord of the Flies’ because they are the vital and too generalised ideas explored within the entirety of literature. The rival instincts that are inherent in all humans – the ambition to live by principles and ethics,

William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, once said, ”man produces evil as a bee produces honey.” While humans are capable of being good and bad, Golding believes that a human’s natural instinct is evil. No matter how good someone will try to be, falling to evil is easier than it is to be good. In Lord of the Flies, Golding explores this idea of good versus evil by depicting a group of boys stranded on an unknown island.

The concept of the beast within The Lord of the Flies is one which can be interpreted in countless ways. The children picture it as a snake or a sea creature, while Ralph and Jack tend to picture it as an ape or other wild animal. Although the beast is pictured as all these various animals, one thing remains constant: there really is no beast. That is, not a tangible one at least.

William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies" not only provides a profound insight into human nature but also does so in a way that is remarkable for its use of shock and horror. Golding presents aspects of human nature as themes in the book. It alerts us to our potential to descend from order to chaos, good to evil, civilization to savagery. They are explored through how innate evil can be brought out in certain situations, the dangers in not addressing our own fears and the battle between civilization

The entire theme of “Lord of the Flies” is savagery over civilization. The entire books describes a group a young boys, between the ages of six and twelve, who descend fairly quickly into a savage state of mind. One would assume that the reason that the children resorted to the savage state so quickly was because of their shorter time in civilization, but the inherent being of savagery is present in all.

Lord of the Flies is a world famous, classic written by William Golding. An ex-solider, Golding realized the evil man could become when corrupted and decided to put his thoughts in this brilliantly written novel.

What is innate, however, is the instinct for savagery. Golding builds a seemingly perfect microcosm, where several young boys are stranded on a deserted island, alone and without supplies.
