Lord Of The Flies Character Analysis

Even though the willful assassination of the two boys surprised me, what surprised me more was that no kinds of diseases were present among the group of boys. All seem to be healthy from eating the minimal amounts of fruit present on the island and the rare buffet of pork roast. According to my opinion, the author did not introduce diseases was to paint a perfect picture of human nature without any intrusions other than the urge of survival. Furthermore, I wonder since Roger is painted as a sociopath within the book and enjoys torturing and killing kids, would Jack be anyway effected if Roger chooses to overtake the island with fear and torture? Indeed there is no counter proof that Roger is a sociopath and indeed0“ ‘He’s a terror’ ” (189).

in order to distort Ralph’s command. Yet one of the most believable thing that occurs in the book, is the bickering and quarreling among boys. The age of the boy’s range from 6-12 years old.

Indeed, the author does an amazing job making most of the book believable to the readers, I found the survival of the boys to be hard to believe. While their plane was shot down within the midst of a war, how did it kill all the adults and most of the children survive. I would

So, calling the book Lord of the Flies brings the boys' primitive violence front and center. Now let's break it down. "Lord" is a word of power, and the desire for power drives the book's central conflict: who gets to decide what the boys will do? "Flies," on the other hand, emphasize death and decay. Put them together, and you've got death and decay tied up with power and corruption. Great! Finally, "The Lord of the Flies" is also the popular translation of Beelzebub, who's either a demon or the devil himself, depending on how you view mythology. That arouses a question: is evil external to us, like a talking, decaying pig head? Or does Simon call the head "Lord of the Flies" because he sees it as a manifestation of the boys’ nature and maybe his
