Understanding Key Quotes and Techniques

Scene Summary and Context Guide: In William Golding's 'Lord of the Flies,' a group of boys stranded on a deserted island struggle to govern themselves and maintain order. The novel explores themes of civilization versus savagery, the loss of innocence, and the nature of human evil. The story is set in a tense environment where characters' actions reveal their true nature. Throughout the novel, Golding employs a variety of literary techniques such as symbolism, irony, and foreshadowing to convey complex ideas. Key quotes from the text highlight pivotal moments and character insights. For example, the phrase 'We’re all doomed' underscores the despair among the boys, while 'The beast is only us' reveals the novel's core theme of inner savagery. Understanding these quotes requires examining both their literal meaning and their symbolic significance within the story.
