William Golding, the author of Lord of the Flies,
used irony to tell his story of a group of young
British boys stranded on a deserted island. The
readers can clearly spot the irony in the dialogue
and Ralph, one of the main character, is also
aware of the irony in his situation. The irony in

occurred in chapter two. Jack says to the group of

the symbols in the book. He was the representative
