Defect Forces Of Human Nature In Lord Of The Flies

The Lord Of The Flies by William Golding symbolizes the defect forces of human nature. The story is about a group of schoolboys who are stranded on and island because their plane was shot down. They go through experiences without adults and have to problem solve and discover their true primitive instincts. Going through experiences without adults and while feeling as if your abandoned leads us to our deeper forces of human nature. Ralph shows this in the story By him being the leader of the group but him not having anyone. He has the desire for a leader to guide him as well. Jack shows his deeper forces of human nature by desiring power and travelling in a group and wanting to appear superior to his peers. Piggy shows hid deeper forces of human nature by being scared and desiring an adult figure of wisdom.

Firstly, Golding shows

“He used to blow it and his mum would come it was ever so valuable.” (pg 11) Piggy calls the conch valuable but he also says it's used to call a boys mother and therefore it is valuable. This means that piggy thinks the conch it valuable because it would bring and adult to where they are and the adult or parent would make things better. “I’m scared of him,”said piggy That’s why I know him. If your scared of someone you hate them but you can’t stop thinking about him. You tell yourself he’s alright, really and then when you see him again it’s like asthma you can’t breathe” (pg ) As time went on piggy’ peers kept getting more and more vulgar and scary. Without the protection of adults piggy was helpless to these savages that were on the island with him. His natural response was to hate the things and people he was scared of. If an adult was there piggy might have had a better sense of security and
