Scene Summary and Context Guide
In the novel Lord of the Flies, a group of boys find themselves stranded on a deserted island following a plane crash. As they attempt to govern themselves and survive, tensions arise between different factions. The character Ralph seeks order and civilisation, while Jack embodies savagery and chaos. The story explores the decline of innocence and the emergence of primal instincts, often expressed through memorable quotes such as 'All that glitters is not gold' and 'The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.' These quotes reflect themes of deception, loss of innocence, and the struggle between civilisation and savagery. Understanding these key moments helps to analyse how Golding conveys complex ideas about human nature and societal breakdown.
