Why Is Lord Of The Flies Internalized

Is evil internalized or is it created? War is an evil fight between people. The question is, are people born with evil in them or is it merely the thoughts and ideals that develop within humans? Does the behavior of others and their actions have an impact on how people feel and act? Lord of The Flies, “Dulce et Decorum Est”, and “No More Hiroshima” all tie back into conflict in society. Lord of The Flies, by William Golding, is a good example of how evil can be created in society no matter how young, how old or how innocent the person and or people are. In the beginning of the novel, it describes why the plane was flying overhead of the island in the first place as these boys are fleeing from a nuclear war. In addition to it, their plane

When these boys make it to the island they are civil and they act like proper school boys with determination to survive on this island alone. They develop a system using a conch shell to clearly define who is speaking and who else should be quiet. They are innocent, young school boys who do not even know what is going on and are just having honest fun. As the novel progresses, more and more characters are introduced, and there is now a main cast of characters consisting of Jack, Ralph, Piggy, and two younger twins named Sam and Eric. Ralph and Piggy seem to be the calmest, and most level headed of the group of boys and Ralph is appointed leader of them all while Jack becomes a very angry, selfish person the longer Ralph is the leader. Throughout the time with Ralph as the leader the boys are civil, level headed and eager to just live and Jack has enough of it, he splits off from the rest of the boys with a small group of the choir boys he originally showed up with, Jack

Some quotes from the poem that include his description are “ As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.”, “If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood, Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs”, and “He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.”. All are horrific examples of how it is to experience war first hand on the front lines, fighting for someone who only wants power over others and complete control. War only turns people evil, it forces the people fighting to kill without mercy and remorse, that will almost immediately ruin someone's mind and way of thought, there is no way around it. Wilfred would never see the end of the war, he died in action on November 4th of the year 1918, 7 days before the war ended, something that would not have been necessary if war was not a thing. War is an evil thing, it makes people commit terrible acts, just like lord of the flies, when people are under the control of bad and evil people, it makes the people fighting evil as well, they think they are the ones who are right and have to correct ideals and morals when in reality, they are just being controlled by a higher power.
