Essential questions… What are the individual’s rights and responsibilities? In the absence of rules, what is the nature of humanity? Is the essence of humanity good or evil? What is the role of a leader in maintaining order?

Lord of the Flies facts Most of the characters, actions and objects in the novel symbolize larger ideas. Golding’s novel deals with the conflict between the rational mind and natural instinct. Golding believed that people were instinctively evil and society was needed to protect humans from each other.

The novel takes place during a fictional nuclear war. A group of British schoolboys are flown out of their country to “protect” them from the horrors of war. Lord of the Flies continued

However, their plane crashes, killing all the adults on board. The boys remain stranded on the tropical island to fend for themselves… Lord of the Flies continued

All of Golding’s novel takes place on the remote tropical island.

In Golding’s day a popular boys adventure story was… The Coral Island A story most boys and adults in England would be familiar with.

The Coral Island Written in 1858, it’s a lighthearted tale about boys stranded on a deserted, tropical island The major characters are Jack, Ralph, and Peterkin It’s an adventure story with hidden treasure and a happy ending
