In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, a group of boys stranded on a deserted island attempt to govern themselves amidst chaos and emerging savagery. The novel explores themes of civilization versus savagery, with allegorical significance representing broader societal structures. The scene describes a moment when Ralph describes the conch shell as a symbol of order, while Jack begins to challenge authority, highlighting ideological conflicts. The phrase 'beast from air' symbolizes inner fears that turn into external threats, illustrating how irrational fears can escalate into violence. Golding employs symbols like the pig's head on a stick, which signifies the decay of morality and the loss of innocence. The characters' actions reflect deeper allegories about human nature and societal constructs. For example, Ralph's leadership represents democratic values, while Jack's descent into savagery symbolizes the primal instincts within humans. The novel ultimately questions the veneer of civilization and suggests that savagery is an innate aspect of human nature.
