My Own View on This Novel
First and foremost
, as far as I am concerned, in exploring the
breakdown into savagery of a group of boys free from
the imposed
moral
constraints
of
civilization
and
society,
Lord
of
the
Flie
s
dramatizes a
fundamental
human struggle: the conflict between the
impulse
to
behave
morally
and
the
impulse
to
indulge
in
violence.
The
first
set
of
impulses
might
be
thought
of
as
the
“
civilizing
instinct
”
, which encourages people to work together toward common
goals
and
behave
peacefully;
the
second
set
of
impulses
might
be
thought
of
as
the
“
barbarizing
instinct
”
,
or
the
instinct
toward
savagery, which urges people to rebel against civilization and instead
seek anarchy, chaos, despotism, and violence.

The story takes place in the distant future times. In a nuclear war, a plane carrying a group of boys from the south toward the evacuation of the United Kingdom. The aircraft was attacked by a forced landing on a deserted Pacific coral island. These children are temporarily absent from the civilized world.No aircraft, no adults, a lot of hard work built up the human civilization at stake. Island, conditions were appalling, to the lucky children who survived a threat, but even the greatest danger from these innocent children had their own.
