Lord of the Flies is a novel by author William Golding. The book depicts the actions and dynamics of a group of young boys stranded on a tropical island. Golding’s novel shows us the dark side of mankind as the boys attempt to form a society on the island, but instead, give in to their primitive nature. The story explores the influences of evil, with reason as its opposition. Jack’s character is an excellent example of this theme of evil versus reason, in the fact that he searches for personal power and abandons rationality in its pursuit, he convinces others to follow him through arguments of passion that lack logic, and he ultimately resorts to primitive killing in order to retain power.
