Fire Burning From Within William Golding uses his words to foreshadow the impending conflict between chaos and order. Golding uses of imagery through his words and phrases such as “stirred restlessly” and “Beastie” (page 36) are used in a manner that promotes fear. The imagery allows the reader to imagine what the little boys are seeing and this intern allows people to understand better what the boys think they are fearing. This fear is shown in the way the younger boys, who are seen as innocent, describe the strange creature.

The same way, disorder means damnation. In both of the masterpieces we find the same way in conceiving coordinates and juxtaposing politics and religion, empire and church. Analogous is the way to express certain forces of nature, intimate qualities of the spirit, sublimation or degeneration of senses through animals. Dante’s Comedy and the mosaic of Otranto teem with animals and monsters: dogs, wolves, dragons, lions, sphinxes, griffins, centaurs, etc. We find all of these representations in both of the works and with the same meaning, same analogies, and same functions.
