263 Words2 Pages
For example, evil comes from society, when all the boys have been adapted to living on the island and have turned to savagery mode. In chapter 11, Golding uses Simon's death as evil because the boys brutally killed him, letting out their savagery urges. The boys were so concentrated in killing “the beast” that they did not realize Simon was crying in pain until he was silent “The beast struggled forward… At once the crowd surged after it...leapt on to the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movements[of Simon] but the tearing of teeth and claws”(Golding 153).
