What is the beast in “The lord of the flies”?
Is nothing but a wild boar. Lord of the Flies is an allegorical novel by Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding. It discusses how culture created by man fails, using as an example a group of British school-boys stuck on a deserted island who try to govern themselves with disastrous results. Its stances on the already controversial subjects of human nature and individual welfare versus the common good earned it position 70 on the American Library Association’s list of the 100 most frequently challenged books of 1990–2000 http://www.bookrags.com/Lord_of_the_Flie… http://www.bookrags.com/notes/lof/ http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/flies/ http://www.cliffsnotes.com/WileyCDA/LitN…
