Symbolic Novels: Lord of the Flies By William Golding

Submitted by Khalid on Mon, 2004/12/27 - 17:07

Lord of the Flies is an allegorical novel by William Golding, expressing his view that society is just a thin layer of civility disguising the real savagery of humans.

It also has themes on how when two opposing forces, one of good, and the other of evil, it is very hard to convince the masses to follow the good one, and that they often succumb to the rhetoric of evil.
