Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a novel about a group of boys stranded on a deserted island. As they attempt to govern themselves, their civilised behaviour disintegrates, revealing their primal instincts. The story explores themes of human nature, savagery and the thin veneer of civilisation. Key characters include Ralph, the leader and Jack, who challenges his authority, leading to chaos and violence. It’s a profound examination of societal breakdown and inherent human evil.
