Lord Of The Flies

Golding=s idea about human nature. In Golding=s Lord of the Flies there is an evil influence on the island that affects the boys; This evil is not a demonic presence, but the evil inside us all known as the Id. The boys on the island seem to think there is some evil being on the island that is stopping them from leaving. The first mention of this Abeastie@ is in a meeting, where …

Remember that it is evil. Watch what you do and say. Every time you give in to shortsighted desire, you are giving in to evil, and deteriorating towards the same level of savagery as the boys in Lord of the Flies.
