The conflicts of "Lord of The Flies" by William Golding

<Tab/>Conflicts of Lord of The Flies <Tab/>All Stories contain conflict. Lord of the Flies is no exception. By examining the three types of conflict found in the novel, (person vs person, person vs self and person vs society/environment, we can see how Golding's use of conflict strengthens the work as a whole. <Tab/>Piggy and Jack have always disagreed and …

…different. <Tab/>Piggy opposing Jack and society and Simon opposing himself are only three of the more blatant conflicts in Lord of the Flies. Jack and Ralph obviously oppose each other and Ralph and his subconscious have problems too. What Golding wants to illustrate with these characters and conflicts is that political groups, especially extremists like anarchists and fascists, hardly ever work together and have ranging concepts of good and evil.
