Introduction and Context
Scene Summary and Context Guide: In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of boys are stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. As they attempt to establish a society, tensions rise, and their behavior becomes increasingly wild. The story explores themes of civilization versus savagery, leadership, and loss of innocence. Ralph, the elected leader, tries to maintain order, while Jack seeks power through fear and aggression. The environment is tense, and the boys' actions reflect their struggles with morality and survival. 'Savagery' is a recurring motif, often highlighted through the characters’ language and actions. For example, the phrase 'the beast' symbolizes their primal fears and the darkness within themselves. This excerpt illustrates moments of conflict and the characters' evolving psychological states.
