William Golding:

The Lord of the Flies

In 1954 he published the masterpiece of whom later became Nobel Prize for Literature, William Golding. The Lord of the Flies is a pessimistic view of human nature built by an author fascinated by the human responses to extreme situations.

The story is already part of a fait accompli: a group of children forced landing on a desert island for the earth (or before that point is not well explained) the adults who took charge of the aircraft lost life. As a result, we find the most innovative approach: a group of children doomed to build a society where adults do not appear anywhere.

What at first appears as a game for most of them will soon appear complicated to the inevitable clashes between the two camps into which the group of infants. In fact, right from the start of the novel shows the first child cruelty, perhaps the most pronounced for not yet passed through the sieve of education. Thus, one child, a fat misfit, nearsighted, asthmatic, condemns himself to be called by the nickname that he wants to hide but stupidly reveals the first boy with whom he develops contact. Piggy, which is nicknamed as the unfortunate, instantly becomes the object of scorn of the older boys, a contempt learned perhaps the highest in the civilized world they come from.

Although discussions on the first pages of the novel points to the possibility of a hard landing, at no time shows how the boys arrive on the island. There is also a temporary lack of specificity as to the time when events happen, even though one of the boys spoke to one of "the bomb" and that "they are all dead." It seems that there has been a planetary scale nuclear conflict. However, William Golding waiver at all times to give the reader an overall view of world problems, sticking to the experiences of the surviving children, who will soon start showing more negative signs of the mature personality.

Despite the claims of the children so they can imitate adult social organization, the fears of childhood suddenly assaulted the group, taking the form of a monstrous being that the youngest reported seeing at night and that some have referred to as "snake." Any game trail disappears completely when the passage of time the boys are attacked by the fear that no one is actually better than they and that, ultimately, no adult will get them.

The Lord of the Flies is a dark, pessimistic parable about the human condition, which shows her wild side when he is stripped of the veneer of civilization. The fact that the characters give vent to their lack of solidarity, finally ─ ─ selfishness and cruelty are his children, is just a new twist on an author who always showed his spell for the human reaction to extreme situations . Some critics have tried to work corseted The Lord of the Flies referring you to a time and country, and so explain the behavior of boys as a reaction to restrictive education secular form prevailing in Britain at the time it was written volume. This interpretation, as valid as any other, reduces an allegory about the cruelty to something less than an anecdote. The Lord of the Flies is much more than that, one of the great dystopias of the twentieth century.
