The power-hungry will often feel the need for absolute control, hardly ever getting what they desire, they will often be portrayed as crazy and vicious. The same can be said for Jack; all he wants is to be the leader and make the decisions, but Ralph is the one in control.

“Bartleby is blind but he sees. The lawyer has eyesight but he is blind. Unlike Bartleby, he does not know where he is. He is in prison without knowing it. He has learned nothing. He has gained no insight into himself or into his society, and he has gained no understanding of Bartleby’s rebellion. He has denied his own capacity to love.

William Golding’s Lord of The Flies follows a group of young boys who are stranded on an island after their plane crashes, and leaves them with no adults to look after them. When the children are brought together, after Ralph blows conch shell that he and Piggy found together, another group of boys shows up last.

Later in the book, all of the boys develop a rational fear that there is some sort of “beast” in the forest. In reality, as

While the thought of not having complete control of my actions and thoughts means I'm doing what's in my nature is uncomfortable, I see the truth and reasoning behind the statement.

As stated before, Gilman was also a female activist and spokesperson for women. In the amusing novel Herland, it speaks about women and the ideal world where women are free to express their personal and cultural identities living in their own Utopia.

Nicholson is an ignorant misogynist traveler and is also very wealthy, Jeff is a high-quality doctor who admires the thought of women, and Jennings is a sociologist whose interpretations on women are more practical than the other gentleman.
