The most prominent symbol in Lord of the Flies is the conch shell found by Piggy and Ralph. This shell is an important part of the story throughout, and it has a sizable impact on the plot. The conch shell is displayed as a symbol of power and order, and it is what helps keep the boys civilized when stranded on a deserted island all by themselves. William Golding develops the conch shell as an object of extreme power and influence by writing the characters to have a dog like obedience to the…

I guess when I see violent things happen some things don’t bother me like they use to when I was younger. In this paper, I will be reviewing a few articles of violence including one from William Golding called, Why Boys Become Vicious, who is also the Author of The Lord of The Flies.
