What a lot of people are missing is that the book is also at heart an attack on the English Class system. These are upper-class boarding school boys, the product of the very system that was supposed to create men fit to rule an Empire, and it's the violence and cruelty of those systems that are unleashed on the island.

Golding wrote LotF as a response to The Coral Island: a Tale of the Pacific Ocean (1857) by R. M. Ballantyne and many others. I think the more interesting question is why do people assume one work of fiction is more reflective of the human condition than the other?

@powerist209 2 года назад

And then there's Tunnel in the Sky, which is a response by Heinlein to Lord of the Flies. At least the part where a group similar to Jack tried to break off and suffer from food shortages before joining back to the main group who survived and stick together. Plus said story being about space boy scouts (so they were trained to survive in the wild, unlike the Lord of the Flies' school kids) did help.

@Bro_wat 2 года назад

One thing I'd like to say is while there is some legitimacy on your take on Golding's idea of savages, you should also remember that he made the British kids savages, and not kids of actual indigenous decent or background, showing that anyone is capable of falling into madness. Either take on this is reasonable but I'd like to think the latter was his goal to represent.

Thanks for bring up briefly about the story of the Tongan boys. The lord of the files (fiction) is a reminder that humanity can be at its ugliest when fear, greed and selfishness are amplified. In contrast, with the Tongan boys they loved and served one another. When times were hard they though about each other, their family and God. If we were stuck on a desert island, the outcome would be based on three factors: what you have been taught, what do you value and how do you react in that situation (any desperate situation).

@geofff.3343 2 года назад

I don't think the comparison to the 1960s adventure of the Tonga schoolboys is exactly a good parallel. Not because of what shortfalls or differences might exist in Western education, but because those boys are very different. They were older (around 16 at the time). They were all good friends, and there weren't a lot of them. In the book 12 is about the oldest age, there are kids as young as kindergarteners to take care of. There are a lot more of them, and they weren't all friends before the flight. These are some pretty key differences.

@dagamerzz23 2 года назад

Lord of the Flies is a fantastic book. I've been a lifelong reader and LotF is probably in my top 3 books. I also heavily disagree with a lot of the symbolic interpretations of this book. My most disliked translation is that Ralph and Piggy represent Democracy and Jack and the choir represent Autocracy. Ralph and Jack are the oldest of the boys, and are immediately thrust into leadership roles. Ralph isn't voted on and often undermines his leader role by giving others authority and Jack is outright given the leadership of the hunt. Sure its an interpretation that fits but to me its far off the mark of meaning. Another symbol I disagree with is the Conch Shell. Yes, the conch representing organized society fits, but I think it's more visceral than that. The Conch shell represents the boys mothers and the security they would have if they just had their moms. Aside from the delicate, bright pink Conch, there is no (stereotypical) femininity on the island. Early on, before the shell is broken, Ralph constantly uses the shell (He who has the shell speaks) to reassure the boys there is no monster. This change in symbolism makes the climactic chapter when the shell is shattered much more impactful. Ralph's closest ally is dead, the security of the shell is broken, Jack has lead the boys to madness and murder, and now the jungle is burning.

Besides the fact that (as stated in the video) something extremely similar to the plot of lord of the flies DID happen in real life and everyone remained civil and kind to one another for the entire time all the boys were trapped on the island, People forget that in this book there is a time ship. It didn't all just take place over the course of a few weeks. It takes place over the course of almost a year. civilization didn't just immediately break down. Even when there was a boy written explicitly to be a violent sociopath, it took a while before anyone made the deliberate and intentional choice to do harm to their fellow islander. Also it's understated just how traumatized these children were, both from the plane crash and from a horrible war going on. It's really reductive to just say it's a book about how humanity is evil and everyone would turn on each other at the drop of a hat. Doing so ignores all the intricacies and nuance that built up to the tragedy the book ends in, as well as ignoring all the intricacies and nuance that would have to occur in real life.
