Jack And His Hunters Lord Of The Flies
2,173 words
This was one of the most interesting books I have
ever read. It is very addictive and very well
written. Though I am a slow reader, it did not
take long for me to finish it. I spent four days
reading this book and on weekends I put it down
during meals. Lord of the Flies kept my interest
with very little slow moving dialogue and lots of
vivid description. The thing I probably liked the
most about Lord of the flies was the theme of the
story. This topic was very intriguing. It dealt
with many fla...

enchanting, audacious account that depicts the
defects of society as the incorrigible nature of
individuals when they are immature and without an
overlooking authority. The author of the novel,
William Golding, was born in Britain, which
accounts for the English, cultured characters in
the novel. After studying science at Oxford
University for two years, he changed his emphasis
as a major to English literature. When World War

What has principally interested you in your study
of Lord of the Flies so far? (Having read up to
page 47) Firstly, I intend to explain why, over
anything else, Golding s reflection of the
macrocosm within a microcosm has particularly
intrigued me. I also hope to convey my interest in
the way many of the large factors in this novel
are intertwined with others (often ironic) for
example, that the paradise the boys seek to create
becomes simply a replication of the warring,
chaotic world they emer...

In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, a novel
that explores the depths of human nature, plot is
irrelevant in comparison to the rich symbolism
embedded in nearly all components of the story.
The theme of the book is the destructive presence
of evil as an influence to mankind, which lies
within the breakdown of all order and common sense
as a group of british boys stranded on a deserted
island evolve into a pack of anomalistic savages.
The clues to this hidden theme behind the
storyline are ple...

William Golding uses symbolism to display his
belief in the evil capabilities of mankind in Lord

good on the island while Jack and his tribe
