coincidence‚ which we can see is mainly reflected through characters and symbolism. The first parallel is the similarity between the Garden of Eden and the Island in Lord of the Flies. Both are tropical‚ beautiful‚ pristine and untouched. However this changes once the boys have left a scar in the forest of the island‚ comparable to the scar Adam and Eve left in the Garden of Eden. The most difficult to discover religious element in the novel is the title. Lord of the Flies‚ once translated into Greek
