Lord Of The Flies Evil Inside
688 words
Lord of the Flies, awarded the Nobel Prize for
literature is considered a modern classic. What
makes this novel so interesting and realistic is
the fact that it parallels with the real world.

evil is inside all of us. He used this novel to
express to the readers his thoughts on the matter,
which was that to defeat the evil inside yourself,
you have to admit that it is there. Simon managed
to face the beast inside him. But unfortunately,

True Human Nature Symbols
930 words
The central theme in the novel Lord of The Flies,
by William Golding, is that all mankind is
inherently savage and the only aspect suppressing
mans primitive behavior is the moral influences of
civilization. It is society that holds everyone
together, and when rules, values, and consensus of
right and wrong are absent, a moral surrounding no
longer influences ones actions. Thus, values,
reason, and the basic understanding of morality
are lost, and the true essence of human nature is
revealed. Th...
