Lord of the Flies Process Paper What’s the thing holding society back from anarchy and chaos? The novel Lord of The Flies written by William Golding introduces the topic of society versus savagery and how humans naturally drive towards the latter.

Masks are a covering for parts of the face that are worn for a disguise, pleasure, or to scare people. Greek theatre utilizes masks innumerable times for evident characters in their plays.

I believe the plot structure and characterization create and reinforce this by having Prince Prospero, who tried so hard to escape death, fall to the Red Death. The first point I would like to make is about Prince Prospero, and how he tried so hard to avoid the masked figure of Red Death. My second point is about the masked figure and what it represents. My third point is about how

King uses repetition along with violent diction to illustrate Jack's primary concern as an inability to sustain a successful-looking public image, further characterizing him as self conscious and egocentric. By implementing violent diction, King highlights Jack's loathing for the thought of one day having to work a menial job to support his family, emphasizing the fact that Jack would rather preserve his public image than aid his family. Whilst Jack contemplated possible future scenarios, he "clenched
