The tropical island is precisely the same place in both novels. The big difference between the two stories‚ however‚ lies in the quality of the boys. Ballantyne ’s heroes are gentlemen -- and they remain gentlemen throughout the novel. They

    In Lord of the Flies William Golding demonstrates that within every mans heart is a place that he defaults to. In Lord of the flies the boys develop a delusion that there is a beast that lives on the island for the sole purpose of eating the children‚ as we find out in the book the beast is not real‚ but it is a delusion in the children’s head. This delusion causes them to de-evolve‚ physically but mentally‚ in essence causing them to become barbaric and savage. I believe that this de-evolution
