1 Name Language and Literature III Summer Reading Guide Lord of the Flies Lord of the Flies Introduction: The desert island novel has been a popular genre in English literature ever since Daniel DeFoe published Robinson Crusoe in Often a writer will use this premise of human beings transplanted into the simplest surroundings to make certain statements about his or her ideas regarding human nature. Thus, in Robinson Crusoe humankind is portrayed as basically good and industrious, as Crusoe recreates the comforts of Western Civilization with only the help of the native man Friday. It was while reading one such book, R. M. Ballantyne s The Coral Island (in which a group of shipwrecked British schoolboys behave like perfect little gentlemen) that William Golding was moved to write Lord of the Flies in Golding s vision of desert island life in Lord of the Flies is somewhat less optimistic than that of previous authors. Part of the reason for this must be that Golding wrote after World War II, in which the worst aspects of human nature exerted themselves to horrifying extremes and One had one s faced rubbed in the human condition, as Golding puts it. Golding s book, then, deals with the dark side of human nature and is full of ominous symbolism, even in its very title: lord of the flies is a literal translation of Ba alzevuv the Hebrew name for one of
2 Satan s chief demons (Beelzebub in Greek). As Golding himself describes it: the theme is an attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature. The moral is that the shape of society must depend on the ethical nature of the individual and not on any political system however apparently logical or respectable. The whole book is symbolic in nature. Lord of the Flies begins with a group of British schoolboys who become stranded on a desert island after the plane which is carrying them away from a nuclear war crashes and the pilot is killed. Without any adults on the island, the boys are free to develop their own society. Whether or not you agree with Golding s vision of humanity, the book remains a powerful, and often shocking, work of literature. 1. When and where was William Golding born? 2.
