    The 1954 novel Lord of the Flies encompasses the aftermath of World War 2 and draws heavy parallels to a post-World War 2. Written by Robert Golding, the novel is set on a dystopian island and illustrates that with the absence societal responsibilities, civilization degrades into fear and chaos by Jack’s dictatorial reign over the island.

    During the twentieth century, author William Golding produced one of the most groundbreaking novels of the era, “Lord of the Flies,” confronting the psychological aftermath of World War Two. Published in 1954, in the midst of crisis among the nation, Golding sets “Lord of the Flies” in the backdrop of an atomic war, in which a group of young boys deserted on an island, due to a plane crash, fear an imaginative creature they call “the beast.” Symbolizing fear, war and savagery of human nature, the children dread they are unable to escape the hauntings of the beast, initially appearing only in their nightmares, but now, externalized into a never-ending terror, ineluctable by the boys, no matter their age. Primarily, only the youngest of residents on the island believe the actuality of the beast, while the more mature children simply believe the little ones are speaking of demons exclusively in their nightmares.…

    Ralph's Villain Quotes

    • 399 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Golding uses Ralph’s role in the mock fight to make ideas of ‘heroes’ and ‘villains’ more complex than they seemed. From the beginning of the book, Golding has positioned the reader to see Ralph as the ‘hero’ and Jack as the ‘villain’ through various techniques, one of them being that Ralph is the focaliser. So far it has been quite clear to us who the hero is, however the mock fight changes our views on this. While it seems likely that jack would take part and enjoy hurting one of the boys, it is shocking and concerning for the reader when they find out that Ralph “was fighting to get near, to get a handful of [Roberts] brown, vulnerable flesh”. The noun phrase ‘brown, vulnerable flesh’ suggests that Robert was an innocent and easy target which positions the reader to feel sympathy for Robert and consequently feel a disliking towards Ralph.…

In the 1954 novel, Lord of the Flies, author William Golding uses symbolism, dialogue, irony, and foreshadowing to illuminate the gloomy truth that people who have good intentions and follow what they believe to be right, especially when unpopular, will be misunderstood, misjudged, and sadly, punished. Ralph, Piggy, and Simon fall under the category of “well-intentioned people.”…

    Feminist and pioneer social worker Jane Addams once said, “Civilization is a method of living, an attitude of equal respect for all men.” Equal respect is one of the main ideas of civilization, while the idea for savagery would be the hunters and the hunted, which can lead to death. This idea is presented superbly in Lord of the Flies. William Golding’s view on civilization within this book is positive, because civilization kept the boys alive, and without it, chaos surrounds the boys.…
