Lord of The Flies
Do we really want Freedom?
“The more freedom we enjoy the greater the responsibility we bear, toward others as well as ourselves.” A quote by Oscar Arias Sanchez. It's ones instinctive behavior to ponder and question the meaning of this wonderful quote. In fact this very quote weaves in and out from the chronological threads of history to go as far back as the Bible. Of course there were many variations of this quote such as the quote by Sigmund Freud “Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.” . These quotes all have something in common. They all have something to do with The responsibility of Freedom. Because Freedom not only affects you but comes in different chain reactions around the people or contacts outside of you. So what we really want to look into is 3 core examples of the responsibility of freedom and then in the end you can decide if you want freedom. One of the strongest pieces of literature that serves as a prime example is the Lord Of The Flies.
Where a wholesome amount of kids are stuck on a remote island and do not have a parent, adult or official in site. Now to some if you were in there position you would be elated just to be relieved of the constant pressure you are given by your parents. But there are certain struggles when there is no authority to dictate and keep an orderly manner. A perfect example is when Ralph becomes leader because he is the beholder of the conch. But conflict settles in because of Jack's competitive nature and because of this Ralph is often found putting his responsibilities and duties as a leader on the back burner. Just to reinforce is position as leader mainly to Jack. And even though Ralph is seen as the protagonist and jack the antagonist Ralph is often seen as the bad guy towards the rest of the crowd (Kids excluding Piggy). Only because of Jack's fierce and authoritative nature. But as the freedom increases for these kids
