    Ralph's exhilaration of harming the pigs reveals that even he has a savage side to him and failed to recognize this instinct to hunt and kill in himself. The mask of face paint that the hunters wear symbolizes actions without responsibilities. By wearing the paint the boys feel powerful; they feel like they are able to do anything they want. Even some of the other boys “understood only too well the liberation into savagery that the concealing paint brought” (Golding 170).…

    The complexity of the human psyche fascinates many psychoanalysts, including Sigmund Freud. He developed one theory about the human psyche and divided it into three parts: the id, superego, and ego. " According to Freud's model of the psyche, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories, the super-ego operates as a moral conscience, and the ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego" (McLeod). In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, Golding’s characters embody each of these three roles in the human psyche and highlight the interaction amongst the three by using symbolism.…

    Had there been adults on the island, the island would not have fallen into chaos. For instance, Ralph states “you’re breaking the rules!” (pagina 92). Had an adult been on the island with the children, order would have been maintained, and the rules would not have been broken. With an authoritative figure in charge, the boys would not only have maintained civility, but could have been rescued earlier as well, making the story change for the better.…

Some say yes, some say no, but no was nearly the case in William Golding Lord of the Flies. “Good” and “evil” are very broad terms, but easily distinguishable in general. Good can be nearly anything with a positive connotation, but in the case of Lord of the Flies, it typically is anything that sticks to typical morals and values, whereas evil is immoral and barbaric acts that symbolize a regression to a primal nature. The conflict between this type of good and evil can be seen everywhere, religious texts, novels, nearly anything involving a protagonist against a person, force, or themselves.…

    The conch is an ordinary object that the boys give blind obedience to. They respect the “white, magic shell,” (180) and “appear” (17) when it is sounded. The conch has an unquestionable authority on the island at the beginning, loses its control as entropy increases. Similarly, order loses its power when people defy the laws and listen to an autocratic voice that acts on instinct, like Jack. When the shell shatters into a “thousand white fragments,” and “ceased to exist,” (181) it represents how order is nearly impossible to restore after it has been…
