Why this novel read by students
Students study Lord of the Flies
for several compelling reasons, each deeply rooted in the novel's rich thematic content, complex characters, and profound social commentary. This novel serves as a narrative of survival and a mirror reflecting the darker aspects of human nature and society. Here are some of the core reasons why this novel is an essential part of the high school curriculum:
Exploration of Human Nature and Morality: Golding delves into the concept of the inherent evil within mankind, challenging the notion that society is the sole corrupting influence on humans. This theme is epitomized in Jack's character development, who transitions from a civilized choir boy to a savage hunter, reveling in the freedom from societal rules. His declaration, Bollocks to the rules! We're strong—we hunt! If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down! We'll close in and beat and beat and beat—
(Chapter 5), exemplifies the abandonment of moral constraints in favor of primal instincts.

Ralph's struggle to maintain order and democracy on the island, symbolized by the conch shell, reflects this theme. When the conch is ultimately shattered, it signifies the complete disintegration of civilized order. Ralph laments, The rules are the only thing we've got!
(Chapter 5), underscoring the fragile nature of societal structures when removed from the context of the wider world.
The Power of Fear and the Use of Power to Control: Fear is a potent force in the novel, manipulated by characters like Jack to consolidate power and control over the other boys. The mythical 'beast' that terrifies the boys becomes a tool for Jack to exploit, demonstrating how fear can be used to manipulate and dominate. The Lord of the Flies, speaking to Simon, asserts, "Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt
