Golding uses personification to show how evil is not the “beastie” but lies within the savage boys. For instance, Simon and the dead pig’s head, known as the Lord of the Flies, spoke to each other. However, a dead pig’s head can not realistically talk. The dead pig’s head warned Simon about Jack, Roger, Maurice, Robert, Bill, Piggy, and Ralph (Golding 144).
Golding uses repetition through the characters’ dialogue. For instance, Ralph repeatedly mentioned how the island is “a good island” (Golding 52). He also repeated the word “smoke” often (Golding 108). The repetition represents Ralph’s anguish and desperation of being rescued.
