Human Nature Is Indefinitely Evil In Lord Of The Flies By William Golding

[Ralph] is like Piggy. He says things like Piggy. He isn’t a proper chief”[ Golding, 138]. By saying this, Jack is showing the other boys that to survive you need to hunt and be strong, not use your brain. This paints a negative image in the little boys and about Ralph and Piggy, resulting in Jack looking like the best.

Jack does not like Piggy for some reason, maybe it is the way Piggy looks and acts. But Piggy cannot help that he stutters, has asthma, and wears glasses. Jack is one of those kids that has really high standards for other people, so if the other boys do not meet his expectations then Jack will put them down like he is doing to Piggy. Jack keeps telling Piggy to shut up every time Piggy goes to talk. This might be because Jack feels threatened by Piggy since he is a little bit smarter and is right about making shelters, and getting a list of all the boy's names.

From the moment the boys grouped, Jack reveals his ambition and lack of empathy. Jack uses verbal abuse towards everyone in order to gain control, but especially Piggy. When Piggy tries desperately to be heard while creating the fire, Jack tells

William Golding uses the many conflicts in the novel to represent and support his theme of inner evil being present in us all especially when society is not there to restrict us. Golding uses the conflict of Simon’s death as an ideal portrayal of inner evil. All of the boy’s evils are on clear display when Simon’s death occurs. Their inner evil takes over when they start attack Simon thinking that he is the Beast, when in reality he was the one obstructing the Beast in the first place. The boys start to chant “Kill the beast!

Jack is one of these persons in the book. He tends to judge Piggy by the aspects in his body that seem to stand out. From the start, it is clear that Jack does not treat Piggy the same way that he treats the rest of the children that were in the island. In some ways Piggy felt scared of Jack and felt like he needed protection from Ralph. His terror can be understood when Golding states, “His voice rose to a shriek of terror as Jack snatched the glasses of his face”(Golding 40 ).

The true nature of human instincts and evil actions lurk behind the social masks that society forces upon. In William Golding’s fictional novel Lord of the Flies, the author features the alteration of a group of young males who are isolated on a deserted island, projecting their regression from innocent children to killer savages. Golding conveys how effortlessly one's morality can be ripped apart when isolated from civilization which is shown through the savagery and remorse of the group of boys. In chapter 11, the young group of boys dispute on the idea of civilization or savageness being better. Ralph, who stands together with Piggy, fights for the goodness of mankind and believes in orderly conduct as opposed to unlawfulness and killing for fun.

How does this description differ from Simon’s death? What do the differences suggest about Golding’s attitude to what each of the boys represents? Piggy is killed by Roger, which is a intentional act. If we think Simon is dead in accident, than the death of Piggy must be murder. 4.Who”protested out of the heart of civilization?”

Humanity’s defects have led to suffering and ruin throughout history. There would not have been war, murder, enslavement, or annihilation if humanity were a completely ethical society. Unfortunately, human defects are simply part of our nature and cannot be extinguished entirely. We see these defects and their effects in William Golding’s renowned novel Lord of the Flies. Lord of the Flies is a book where a group of British schoolboys are deserted on a distant island and begin to lose sight of civilization for savagery.

The satire present here is that the altering of the ten commandments effectively portray how the absurd the concept is. There is no way that animals could become, “more equal” than others. In the beginning of the novel, Old Major expressed that the animals shall overcome their oppressors, but the pigs become the oppressors. Through their chants and the ten commandments, the citizens are brainwashed to believe that everything is just and fair because when the commandments and chants were first written or said, everyone was in agreement, and believed it was fair.
