Golding uses the conch in the novel to symbolise democracy and civilisation. Golding wrote the novel as a parody to R.M Ballantyne’s novel “Coral Island” in which a number of boys are placed on an island‚ their behaviour is civilised and Ballantyne suggests though out his novel that the Pirates and savages are the only people on the island that had the potential for evil.
