In the novel Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, it definitely seems that the boys lose sight of their humanity and fall prey to the “Horrors underneath” that lay dormant in all…

On a psychoanalytical level, what is the Beast? The Beast on the island is the manifestation of all the boys’ fears, both on a mental level as boys afraid of the dark, and also as the symbol of fear for the unknown that all of humanity bears. “‘I know there isn’t no beast—not with claws and all that, I mean—but I know there isn’t no fear, either.’ Piggy paused. ‘Unless—’ Ralph moved restlessly. ‘Unless what?’ ‘Unless we get frightened of people” (119). This is realized by a select few…
