Lord of the Flies Symbolism?
I need to know what these represent in the book The Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Please, and thanks for your help!
Mask
The flies around the pig's head
Darkness
Mountain
Forest
Beach
Dead pilot
Castle Rock
Scar
Thank you!
I have already read the book, these symbols are just very vague and I cannot grasp what Golding is trying to represent.
Come on, read the book! It’s awesome. The whole thing is full of symbolism so it wouldn’t be that hard to understand what each of these items symbolizes. Read the book. I can’t help in any other way.
I love Lord of the Flies.
Sparknotes. Love it, hate it, use it; it’s there.
mass- becoming uncivilized
the flies- the followers
darkness- the fact there is nothing there, no clear way to go
mountains- heights, challenges
forest- work, unknown
beach- luxury, Paradise
dead pilot- humans evils
castle rock- security
scar- humans destroying the world
im not sure about some of these but they would be my best guess
