The democracy that Ralph initiated disappears and yields to a chaotic dictatorship, with Jack at the head, which represents evil and the beast viewed as both a dread and a symbol of worship and reverence.

Thus, Jack slowly gains power and authority by feeding on the islanders’ consternation.

Notes from the Island Day 1: Today I found myself in a strange place, an island I suppose. I think the plane I was riding plane crashed and that’s how I ended up here.

Though all societies throughout history have had their differences, all have been almost identical structurally. Marxism views the world and literature based on social and economic classes. Karl Marx, a communist reformer, once said "...stable societies develop sites of resistance: contradictions built into the social system that ultimately lead to social revolution and the development of a new society upon the old,” meaning that conflict, tension, and rebellion cycle through societies and allow mankind to grow and develop socially as a whole. In the novel Lord of the Flies, the author, William Golding uses character interactions and symbolism to show struggle between classes as a new society rebels against and replaces the previous system.
William Goulding’s passage in The Lord of the Flies is about Simon’s innocence even after his death. The passage begins by creating an image of a dark, hell-like, place when he uses the words “darkened curve of the world”. Goulding uses darkness all throughout The Lord of the Flies in order to create this same effect. Next, the passage moves on to describe in great detail the power of the ocean, connecting it to the sun and moon as well as using words such as “the great wave of the tide”. Goulding ends the passage using juxtaposition to describe the light, kindness, and positive vibes that are associated with Simon.
