Friendship In William Golding's Lord Of The Flies

Raph’s True Friend
There are many lessons that the book lord of the flies teaches us, for example, it teaches us a little bit about life by showing how our human nature was built, like how we used to be savages at some point in history, that’s why jack represents our wild side of us or our human nature that we used to have, or still have..., and how we control it by having rules, which is why Ralph represent leadership in society,in pg.204 we learn a little bit about the theme“The theme is an attempted to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature … the shape of society must depend on the ethical nature of the individual and not on any political system ” which tells us that the book was meant to show how some people like Jack, and Ralph would act in the “island”, another important character that we know as is “Piggy”, we learn that a boy named “Piggy” may be a true friend, but a boy who names his friend
Ironically, of course, this “true, wise friend” is not called Piggy at all nor relates to the name in the wise part, the way Golding has structured this sentence – emphasising the fact that he is “called” Piggy – suggests that Ralph regrets his failure to discover his real name. This also serves as a reminder to Ralph that it is his fault that Piggy was so-named on the island and is another source of regret
