Lord of the flies:background
A little background of the book:
Lord of the Flies is a book about various English boys that were stranded in a tropical island after the plane they’ve rode crashed and shot down during a war. Two of the main characters, Ralph and Piggy found a conch shell, which they have used to call the other boys that were deserted in the same island.
At first they all had the freedom they want. But, as order dies and rules weren’t followed anymore, unfamiliar things crept into each of the boys in the island. There was terror and the hope that they had was lost in the midst of the distraction that they’re facing.
Why, When,Where and How did Golding write Lord of the Flies?
Golding decided to write this masterpiece because he wanted to portray how evil human nature is. Also he based the settings after serving as a British Navy during World War II. There were several other reasons why Golding wrote Lord of Flies; this was because during his experience in serving the British Navy. He was terrified by what he has seen on how humans have the capacity to harm their fellow species. Through the years in serving the British Navy, Golding realized and saw and learned how human nature was menacing and full of savagery: he also realized that the good people can still turn to become the villain. In Lord of Flies, Piggy and Ralph were involved with the killing of their fellow group mate, Simon, by joining the ‘dance ritual’ just as Jack and his group.
Golding experienced numerous rejections from publishers. Since Lord of the Flies rendered the side of human nature like the boys in the book, they all became brutal to each other after being civilized for a little while. Lord of the flies is sieved with symbolism, to set the tone for Sir Golding’s works in the future; he continued to scrutinize the true struggle of man between good and evil. This masterpiece of William Golding has been widely arrayed as a classic with its deep analysis and is used in classrooms all over the world.
Sir Golding was inspired to place the setting on a tropical island for Lord of the Flies because he read and taught the book Coral Island. The background of this book was that there were three young English boys that were shipwrecked on that desert island and they had to survive without the supervision of adults. Basically, he got the idea from this book and the result was Lord of the Flies.
