side. William Golding brings out this theme in the
novel Lord of the Flies. When you first read Lord
of the Flies you may think it is merely a simple
adventure story of boys on a deserted island. But
if you take a deeper look into it and consider the
statement above you will see that this book is
also an attempt to trace the defects of
civilization back to the defects of human nature.
There are many characters in the story that help
prove how ma...

Fire For Cooking Piggy Knew Jack
1,147 words
The novel Lord of the Flies, by William Golding is
a very deviant story. The characters in the story
have no heroic qualities. Ralph is not a hero
because he relies on Piggy's advice and stalls on
his actions. This results in the eventual downfall
of the tribe. Jack is not a hero because he is a
murderer and was unfaithful to the others, again
leading to the demise of the group. Piggy was a
mamas boy and couldnt stand up for himself. He
needed a say in the decisions that were made.
There was not...

Lord Of The Flies Jack And His Hunters
2,005 words
Lord of The Flies is one of the best-known books
of the post-war years. A group of young boys, the
oldest of whom is twelve, and the youngest six,
are marooned on a desert island, and almost
immediately a battle for supremacy takes place
among the principal characters. Violence and death
follow. The schoolboys are in a plane which has
been shot down during what the reader assumes is a
war set in the near future. Generically,
therefore, Lord of the Flies can be seen as a
dystopian or anti- utopia...

Jack And His Hunters Lord Of The Flies

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...

World War Ii Capable Of Stopping Ralph

Ralph, the first character introduced to the
audience, is probably the most likable character
in the entire story. Although he does not ponder
such deeply like Piggy, is not as spiritual like
Simon, or as energetic as Jack, there is something
in him that attracts the audience. Ralph serves as
the protagonist of the story. He is described as
being a playful, innocent child in the beginning,
but towards the end he matures significantly. In
the first chapter where he takes his clothes off
and goes ...

people lose the sense of being civilized and the

island. William Golding, the author of the novel,
expresses his opinion on savagery, an act of
cruelty or violence, in this book. He makes it
quite clear that savagery is an essential
character of man and that it exists in all of all,
but civilization keeps it...
