Anarchy defeats order and this is the underlying belief that Golding had about society. Golding’s main theme was to trace the problems of society on the sins of man. Lord of the Flies is a microcosm of society and man with the key themes being:Ĭonch represents law and order, smoke symbolises hope, glasses represent voice of reason. Throughout the novel, Golding explores themes such as the inherent evil in human nature, the dangers of mob mentality, and the need for civilization and order to maintain societal stability. The conflict between the two groups intensifies, leading to violence and ultimately tragedy.
The boys split into two factions: Ralph’s group, who prioritize building a signal fire to attract rescue, and Jack’s group, who prioritize hunting and indulge in savagery. However, as time passes and their situation becomes increasingly dire, the boys begin to succumb to their primal instincts and their society descends into chaos. Initially, the boys attempt to organize themselves by electing Ralph as their leader, and they establish a system of rules and responsibilities. The Lord of the Flies by William Golding tells the story of a group of British boys who are stranded on an uninhabited island and their attempts to govern themselves without adult supervision.
