Law and Chaos

Masks of Chaos and Evil “He was safe from shame or self-consciousness behind the mask of his paint and could look at each of them in turns.” (140) Throughout the course of the novel, it is apparent how the characters change from young innocent boys into murderous savages while stranded on an isolated island. These boys are no older than 14, but everyone, no matter how young, has an inner beast. Some people, like the boys in the novel, allow that beast inside to temporarily come out when they feel there will be no punishment. In William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies, facepaint is symbolic of chaos and evil that erupts because of the loss of morality while being concealed behind the self-assuring “masks” of society.

The Definition of Metamorphoses is, striking changes of form and structure into another. Which shows that Ovid believed mankind was formed by something and…

they are away from equilibrium, stable, state. At this state, members of organization have freedom to experiment new things and this disorder can feed new discoveries. Adaptive Tensions: The theory assumes that small changes are likely to be amplified by positive actions and result in unintended radical change. It is like Lorenzo’s butterfly effect. Adaptive tensions are drivers in this flow state amplifying initial conditions to cause a major change. Emergent, Self-Organization: Moving away…

Not only are there two commas forcing the reader to pause, but the enjambment in the lines creates a short unnatural pause between clauses. The consonants play a similar role, the transition from the r in never to the s in slowing is difficult, as is the case in the phrase ‘knowing [pause] the’. The pace of the lines has no correlation to the action that it claims. The tone of this poem is rather gloomy, the figure in the poem has no hope, claiming that people “might as well take a leap and try…

of time describing the setting his characters inhabit. The descriptions are so in depth and thoughtful that the houses and buildings almost become characters in their own rights. This attention to detail comes from McEwan’s use of setting in reinforcing the central themes of Atonement, such as love, pretence and order and chaos.
