Lord of the Flies

"Lord of the Fliles" by William Golding tells a tale of a group of British boys stranded on an uninhabited island after their plane was shot down during war. Initially, they cooperate, attempting to establish rules and order. Ralph is elected as the leader with Piggy as his adviser, using a conch shell as a symbol of authority. However, as days pass, fear and beliefs in a "beast" create division among the boys. Jack, another prominent boy, starts his own tribe, which is driven by savagery and fear, eventually resulting in the murder of Piggy and a manhunt for Ralph. The novel concludes when a naval officer arrives on the island to rescue them, revealing the true beast was within them all along. The novel serves as a profound allegory demonstrating man's inherent savagery when removed from societal structures and norms.
