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.
