IMAGERY The novel begins with a bunch of young boys who are trapped on an island after a plane crash. Throughout the novel William Golding includes various types of imagery to accurately describe each significant place on the island the boys are stranded on.

In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, because of three defining moments, Jack changed the most out of all the boys.

“It was simply what seemed sensible for me to write after the war when everyone was thanking God they weren’t Nazis. I’d seen enough to realize that every single one of us could be Nazis”, as stated by William Golding.

Charles Caleb Colton, a profound cleric and writer, once said “Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.” This quote is proven to be true in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.

They were glad to touch the brown backs of the fence that hemmed in the terror and made it governable” (152). This quote is from “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding. A group of young boys are dumped onto an island while being a part of an air attack. While waiting to be rescued, they the boys find themselves losing what civilization they had in them.
In The Lord of the Flies, the boys destroy their chance of having a peaceful Utopia by their lack of togetherness and organization. Since Jack and Ralph are the two having the feud that start the downfall of the island, it’s their fault. If Jack and Ralph could get along, at least for the sake of others, then their civilization could be a lot better. Using Zimbardo’s theories to illustrate the destruction the boys have caused, the theories outline how no one would die or be hurt and they all could be rescued sooner if they work together. Therefore, the catastrophe of the island’s civilization is their doing.
Exigence is used throughout our everyday life, whether it is in a friendly conversation, social media, politics, or even writing books.

It starts off with a group of innocent British boys, trying to stay alive on an unknown island. But, by the end of the book, the boys turn into complete savages.
Everyone will face evil at some point in their lives, but the way the evil is embraced or deflected will differ among every man. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, symbolism is used to communicate the theme of Understanding the Inhumanity/Inherent Evil of Man as represented through the double ended spear, the fire, and the Lord of the Flies. The spear represents the evil inside of humankind and the perception that killing and hurting each other out of anger is acceptable. Fire symbolizes the evil act of stealing to achieve a human wants. Lastly, the Lord of the Flies symbolizes the Inherent Evil of Man through demonstrating that a boy understood that the evil is within them instead of around them, and is not something that could be killed
Rules are the main thing that separates humans from animals, and without them, we are no less savage than them. Additionally, rules are enforced to keep society in order. However, without the proper limits to what a person can do, society will soon turn to the dark side.

Golding uses cruelty to get across the idea that without rules people can get away with the cruelest of things.
