Scene Summary and Context
In the novel Lord of the Flies, a group of boys stranded on a deserted island attempt to establish their own society. The scene focuses on the moment when Ralph and Piggy discuss their growing concerns over the group's behaviour and the emerging chaos. The novel explores themes of civilisation versus savagery, loss of innocence, and the nature of leadership. Golding uses vivid descriptions and symbolic language to highlight the tension between order and disorder. Key phrases such as 'the lord of the flies' and 'the beast' are introduced, hinting at deeper themes of fear and primal instinct. This scene marks a turning point as characters' personalities clash and the fragile veneer of civilisation begins to crack. Students should pay particular attention to how Golding constructs mood and character through diction and imagery, and consider how these techniques support the broader themes of the novel.
