On Writing Lord of the Flies “It was simply what seemed sensible for me to write after the war when everyone was thanking God they weren’t Nazis. I’d seen enough to realize that every single one of us could be Nazis.” --William Golding

Inspiration Golding once allowed his class of boys total freedom in a debate, but had to intervene as mayhem soon broke out Experiences in war Critical response to Coral Island by R.M. Ballanytyne Philosophical questions about human nature

Philosophical Influence Thomas Hobbes English Philosopher: 1588- 1679 Man is by nature selfishly individualistic Man constantly at war with other men Fear of violent death is sole motivation to create civilizations Men need to be controlled by absolute sovereignty to avoid brutish behavior

Facts About the Novel Rejected 21 times before it was published It was his first novel- published in 1954 Not successful until the early 1960’s On the American Library Association’s list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000.

Story Synopsis Set in mid 1940’s when Europe was engulfed in war. A plane carrying British school boys is mistaken for a military craft and shot down. Only the boys survive the crash and try to form a society and govern themselves.

Golding’s Message “The theme is an attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature.” --William Golding

Themes Survival Power/leadership styles Civilization vs. Savagery Loss of Innocence Human nature Duality of man Nature Vs. Nurture Good Vs. Evil
