Mob Mentality could play a major role in the book “The Lord of the Flies” by William Golding because of its specific group context. First, to begin with, being in a group can make people do things they otherwise would not do. In the context of the book, if the group began bullying one boy it would be easy to take it too far and injure the boy as no one in the group would feel responsible. I believe the lack of responsibility caused by mob mentality is one of the biggest dangers in “The Lord of the Flies.” The second way it relates to the book is, the tendency mob mentality gives people to copy the people around them.
The characters in William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, illustrate a loss of morality that comes with the growth of tribalism. The book in question, Lord of the Flies, is about a group of boys who are the only survivors of a plane-crash on an uninhabited island, and how they survive on their own. The growth of tribalism was evident in the increasing separation between the boys and the eventual formation of two conflicting groups, and the loss of morality was illustrated by the boys’ lack of respect for human life. Instead of progressing through Kohlberg’s stages of moral development, we see the boys regress through the stages. The spark that created intense tribalism occurred at the start of the novel when Ralph was voted chief over
Natalie Counts Mrs. Zimmerman English 10 honors 2 March 2016 The Lord of the Flies There are many interpretations of Lord of the Flies. It is a universal story that people all over the world can relate to. Lord of the Flies is an allegory in which each character represents something outside of the literal. The main characters Ralph and Jack are not only young boys, they represent three very different types of government: democracy, anarchy, and totalitarianism, while Piggy represents the ideals of a government.
In William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, he conveys the theme that the absence of order in a society could lead to its downfall. This is shown when the conch breaks, when the tribe forms, and when Piggy dies. The first example of this can be found on page 181, when the conch breaks. Golding states “The conch exploded into a thousand white fragments, and ceased to exist.” Throughout the story, the conch was a representation of order and a government based society.
Leadership Abuse in Lord of the Flies The famous 17th century poet Jean de la Fontaine once said “Anyone entrusted with power will abuse it if not also animated with the love of truth and virtue, no matter whether he be a prince, or one of the people.” When the children in Lord of the Flies find themselves stranded on a distant island with no adults to be found, they encounter many forms of power, hence encountering many forms of abuse of power as well. This power abuse can be organized by the two leaders who each ruled the island during their own periods. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding utilizes these leaders, Ralph and Jack, to illustrate how people in positions of power will abuse their power for personal gain when given the opportunity.
Imagine, you are walking down the street to get to work when suddenly, someone suggests that you all start a riot. Everyone else seems eager to do it, and you do not want to be the one to back out, so you decide to do it too. Fast forward one month, and you are sitting alone in a jail cell. Individuals are found in these types of situations every day, and many can not find the courage to voice their opinion for many different reasons.

There are countless occurrences where the power of human nature have led to actions that disobey the rules of society, by causing harm to others. This breach of order is even more prevalent without social order, and is therefore of utter importance that a new leader is available to provide a sense of direction for a group of people. However, the choice of a wrong leader who acts solely for himself will have disastrous consequences for others. In the novel “The Lord of The Flies”, Jack’s authoritarian leadership style and his sole motive to remain
William Golding’s book “Lord of the Flies” represents man’s struggle with authority, by creating a variety of characters with different points of view he is able to portray what happens when there is no one around to enforce the “law of the land”; Ralph is one of these characters, he represents a civil society with rules and laws to follow, he is intelligent and has more common sense than most of the group knowing that by building a shelter and starting a fire they would increase their chances of being rescued. In the end the group of boys turn on him (except for Piggy and Simon who both die in brutal ways) and it becomes fight or flight for Ralph as he is now alone on the island before ultimately running into the soldier.

Before something can be destroyed, it must be created. William Golding presents the uninhabited island that the boys crash land on as a blank canvas from which a society can be made by the boys themselves. After the boys congregate due to the protagonist Ralph blowing a conch shell, it is established that there are no adults present on the island (p.26). Ralph suggests that they appoint a chief (p.28) and Roger suggests they accomplish this through the democratic process of voting (p.28). Both of these suggestions are an attempt by the boys to recreate the structures of a society that they are most familiar with.
