Foreshadowing Examples In Lord Of The Flies
The story of the “Lord of the Flies” by “William Golding” is fascinating because it makes a philosophical argument between savagery and civilized principles.In the story a group of boys crashland on a tropical island with no adults surviving the crash and soon the group splits into two the savages and the civilized but there was hints of foreshadowing all around the book of this slowly descending to savagery.Some examples of the foreshadowing start when the two main characters meet the other boys some of which are naked and nudity is usually seen down upon in the civilized world and the stereotype of the naked wild savage is popular in the civilized world and other example is jake’s rather fast descends to savagery and his rather one way of
think mentality since he is only focused on killing pigs which ironically is piggy's name possibly more foreshadowing mayde and the final and last example is when in chapter 7 where the successfully kill a pig they have a “dance” where robert is pretending to be the pig but things get to serious and they nearly killed him by a “accident”. These examples show the boys slowly becoming more savage over time from where they first meet and roger rather near murder and jake's killer needs.When the boys first meet about have of the group were naked or semi-naked and the stereotype of a savage is being wild and things in the wild don't normally wear clothes.On page 18 it states “some were naked and carrying their clothes; others half-naked, or more or less dressed” and with this evidence it shows they were becoming savage from the first day.Once the group settled down they were assigned roles and that's where jake was given his role from ralph which soon backfired as he became more focused on killing pigs then getting off the island on page 69 he said “there was lashings of blood...We’ll go hunting everyday” which shows he is mostly focused on hunting not escape.And again for last was robert’s near death experience was on page 114 where this happens “Robert squealed in mock terror, then in real pain...All at once,Robert was screaming and struggling with the strength of frenzy” they eventually let him go but only because ralph stopped them if not they would have killed him.These example some them slowly becoming more wild and leaving their civilized side and jake's bloodlust.
