In the beginning of the novel Ralph finds the conch who then uses it to call the kids that have been separated by the plane
When a plane full of boys crashes, and there are no adults left to guide the young ones, you can only imagine the beasts that emerge. Where does the beasty come from though: environment or biology. I think the boys savage and immoral behavior should be blamed on biology. In the fictitious novel, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, he writes about characters who become stranded and turn savage towards each other.
Lord of the Flies is a classic novel written by William Golding, published in 1954. The story is about a group of British boys stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash, forced to fend for themselves without any adult supervision. As they struggle to establish order and survive, the boys' instincts come to the forefront, leading to a gripping exploration of human nature and the inherent capacity for both good and evil within each individual. Through the characters' experiences and interactions, the novel searches into themes of leadership, morality, and the consequences of unchecked authority. Through his vivid depiction of the breakdown of civilization on a deserted island, Golding reveals the dark side of human nature and limits the
(Golding 33). When a person on the island can speak only through the conch, it quickly becomes a symbol of who has power on the island. This is significant because it corrupts the boys’ behavior as they begin to crave the power of having the conch and the ability to speak over
It’s hard to imagine what we would do if we were stranded on an island. Thankfully we don’t need to worry about being in that position. I don’t know the feeling that the boys in Lord of the Flies had but it’s interesting to think about their different reactions to being in a totally new environment trying to survive on their own. The human tendency to divide into groups and compete between each other caused chaos and death on the island in Lord of the Flies.
Boys crash land on an Island, no adults. They had order, lost it and became savages, killed 2 boys. Hunted one and ended the story in a deus ex machina Simon finds out the truth about the beast, and is making his way down the mountain. To find a group of bloodthirsty boys wanting something to kill and end up getting killed by jack's group. The death of simon is literally symbolic for killing the truth.
Clashing Characteristics of Characters In the novel Lord of the Flies, Jack displays savage like qualities that exhibit his destructive motives as well depicting his character as inadequate. In the paragraph describing his forest the language used presents the scenery as primitive and alarming. Simon’s forest however, is described using imagery in order to portray beautiful scenery. His forest represents the calming and tranquil mood that he displays throughout the novel.
The boys use the conch to establish rules and call meetings, whoever holds the conch has the power to speak to the group during the meetings. These meetings created a sense of unity and helped the boys establish a well-functioning community. Because of the conch, the boys are able to share their thoughts and be heard. The conch was first introduced when Ralph and Piggy found it on the beach. “We can use this to call the others.
Whoever holds the conch gets to speak. That's the rule” (Golding). the conch means to the order of the kids on the island and it shows that it does mean there not in an anarchy and how in the real world we need order and we need to govern ourselves properly and how rules and laws can make all our life’s better.

There are two types of people in the world, leaders and followers. Sometimes there are two leaders who fight for power and a split is commenced in a group. Stronger leaders can break apart a group to create stronger groups. William Golding gives examples to human nature often in his book “Lord of the Flies.” He portrays two characters fighting for the throne of an island to lead only children.
The Crash of Society At the end of World War II, there was a war between two groups of nations, between Soviet Union and the Axis powers. The allies of the Soviet Union was mainly consisted of United States,Britain,France,and Russia,which was made up of democratic republic system. Then the Axis power consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan, and three countries’ governments and three countries governments were here based on dictatorship. In 1941, the Soviet Union was being invaded by the Axis powers, and the other allies was reinforced in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
In the novel the Lord of the Flies author William Golding constantly has the reader questioning the true nature of humans-whether it’s good or bad. I believe that the true nature of humans is to do evil because they abuse their free will to murder and torture one another. William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies shows that humans are evil through the immense torture that the children have to go through. Piggy, the little uns, and almost all of the boys on the island are tortured in some way or another. Piggy is bullied severely buy most of the boys on the island, the little uns are out casted by all of the older kids, and all of the boys are tortured by being trapped on the island and forced to live on their own.
Lawless Countries The one thing that supposedly keeps a country in order is laws. They make it so people can see things on the same level. When these countries don't have these laws to set standards, the country falls into chaos. This chaos brings down the people and the surrounding countries that rely on it.
Lord of The Flies reflects Freud’s theory of personality quite accurately as each character embodies an aspect of personality that is matched up with their actions in the novel. Jack as he channels his Id and commits acts like lustfully killing a pig and massacring Simon. Ralph attempts to be logical in his every decision as he tries to rescue everybody off the island and tries to hold back his Id. While Piggy nearly completely suppresses his Id and embraces his superego, as he constantly tries and fails to establish orderliness and a justice system that existed in his old society. But this also reflects our current society where the author William Golding tries to tell us the message that law and order might never be truly established, after
We live in a world where society isn’t perfect. Where different countries have different ways and laws to run society. We live in a world full of chaos and destructions, full of kindness and love. Many philosophers have had different points of views on how to run a society.
