How Does Lord Of The Flies Lead To The Destruction Of Society

Human Natures and Destruction of the Society in William Golding’s “Lord of the flies”

Lord of the flies is a novel written by William Golding, and the novel itself has many dominant themes in it, but the ones I chose to write about is the human natures, like evil, and the destruction of the society. It is a novel that shows the bad side of every single human - our destructive nature. One of the most important human traits that can lead to destruction is the struggle for power, which is the most obvious trait that leads to the destruction of the society in the novel as well. Through the breakdown of the society formed by innocent kids who survived the plane wreck, Golding shows that there are many basic human traits that can lead to the

In previous societies, where people mostly agreed on what was good and what was evil, the concept of evil served the function of letting people know what was socially acceptable and what was
