Welcome to the Lord of the Flies Group theme project page!

Lord of the Flies: By William Golding.

Lord of the Flies is a book written by an author trying to convey a message. William Golding belives that inside everyone there is an evil, and if someone wants a moral society, then it is their duty to defeat that evil inside of them and be a moral person. This is evident in Lord of the Flies. Most of the boys don't care about a moral society and they turn to savagery and let the evil win. They take pleasure in killing. At first they just wanted to kill to get meat and survive. Then it turns to a sport that they enjoy. Where does this evil come from? Inside everyone is what William Golding belives.

It is much the same in war. Men are told by their commanding officers to go out there and kill to win the war. Being told to do something is one thing, but doing it is an entirely different thing. Men have to reach down inside and keep that evil in check. If they do not killing and war turns to pleasure. There are many examples of this in real life. I will draw paralells from Golding's Lord of the Flies to people like Adolf Hitler and World War II.
