Lord of the flies (1954) is a novel by William Golding. It tells about a british boys stuck on an uninhabitated island. They tried to create their own rules, but it didn’t work out and they became savages. Eventually human nature leads to disastrous results.
I liked this book a lot. The story is good and it teaches much about life. Civilized persons can easily become monsters, when they need to survive in bad conditions and finally they need to survive from eachother. Lord of the flies is a great example of this.
Ralph, Jack, Piggy and Simon counts to the main characters. Ralph represents sophistication and is voted to the leader. The opposite of Ralph is Jack, who is an antagonist. Piggy is the wise guy. He thinks like an adult and isn’t very popular. The last main character is Simon, who is very thoughtful person and understands the evilness that lives inside humans.
Different personalities can’t stand each others surviving methods and it causes horrible things to happen in this island. People just loses their temper and start behaving like an animal.
I suggest this book to everybody, who likes excitement and wants to read a different kind of surviving story.
