As time progresses, the boys on the island are unable to control the evil inside of them and grow more cruel and savage. For example, the boys start playing a hunting game that quickly becomes violent when they start attacking another boy on the island, and we see the release of the contained savagery in the thoughts of one of the boys as“The desire to squeeze and hurt was over-mastering” (Golding…
