William Golding wrote Lord of the
Flies based on his own experienes at the start of World War II. The novel
takes the reader through the torment of good vs evil similar to the Nazi vs the Allies.
The young boys digress from the good upbringing of the British society to the evil
destruction of each other and the island in the fashion of war. Other subheadings might
include Good vs evil, the destruction of man, perhaps the adults as the teachers of
evil, the older boys (Ralph, Jack, Simon) as the doer of evil, and the younguns as the
learners of evil. The continuation of life or evil based on what is
taught.
