In the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of young boys from England are evacuated from their country due to a war. The plane is then shot down and results in a plane crash on a desert island. The boys find themselves alone, without adults, without supplies and without anyone to come and rescue them. They are all left to their own devices and must found a new “society”. The boys must choose someone to rule them and that person ends up being Ralph, who had an internal struggle between what is right and what is wrong towards the end of the novel. The boys turn into savages, killing each other and showing the evil within each of them. According to William Golding, man is intrinsically evil, evil is in each of us, but it is oppressed by society and appears when nothing holds us back, civilization is what prevents evil from coming out, or it is this which triggers evil within man. Inside every man there is inherited evil which is hidden by our environment and the society that surrounds us. Lord of the Flies reveals that without structure, man is a wild and evil beast. The young group of boys shows that humanity is inherently evil because of aggressive control and power. When the boys are called upon, Jack begins to become more demanding and belligerent towards his group of altar boys. When Jack tells Ralph, “I'll split the choir, my hunters will” (Golding 42). Jack tries to show his superiority towards the altar boys and how they are becoming more and more like savages. Jack then begins to show his need for control and power by breaking the rules and doing what he wants, for example he says, "Bullshit the rules!" We were strong - we hunted! If there is a beast, we will hunt it down! We will come closer and beat and beat and b...... middle of paper... people are out in the wild, and also have no civilization or government to keep their evil suppressed. At the very end of the book, when the boys are rescued, Golding writes: “His voice rose beneath the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by this emotion, the other little boys also began to tremble and sob. And in their midst, with dirty body, matted hair and unwiped nose, Ralph mourned the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart and the fall through the air of the true and wise friend called Piggy . . In this quote, Ralph is crying because he has now lost all of his innocence that he had before he came to this horrible island, because of everything that happened on the island. He's also crying because he just lost his friend Piggy to the boys' savage acts and now he realizes how mean everyone is..
