Through the use of characters, setting and symbolism. William Golding, Author of Lord of the Flies. Illustrated with no inlawed rules or restraining of crime, or inpowered higher class who leads. People’s power hunger nature will take over who they actually are and revolte their own personality and corrupt others around them.
Symbolism takes many parts in this book. For example, the fire. It was built in the very beginning of the book.

We can slowly see the possessive signature appearing. So Golding is saying, no matter where we live and where we land. As humans, we turn it into a pig’s den.
