The document provides an analysis of the structure used in William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies". It discusses how Golding uses repetition of events that get increasingly darker and sinister throughout the novel to influence the reader. Key events from the beginning of the novel are repeated later on in a more disturbing way, such as the boys' initial exploration of the island and their attempts to kill the pig. This structure creates tension, a sense of foreboding, and shows the progression of the boys' civilization into violence.

19. Boys exploration of island in the beginning – second exploration in Chapter 7 Roger just missing the littlun with stones – to rolling a rock at Piggy Jack’s first attempt to kill the pig, to the sharpening of both ends of the stick at the end. (lots of stuff for this one, each more sickening than the other) Chanting ‘Kill the pig!’ – ‘Kill the beast!’ with Simon and the sacrifice. The fire in Chapter 2 reveals first glimpse of ‘hell’ – final chapter island is on fire

20. Of course , Golding foreshadows many of the later events, but what else can we say about it? To an extent using Incremental repetition, a modern term for a device of repetition commonly found in ballads. It involves the repetition of lines or stanzas with small but crucial changes made to a few words from one to the next. We could also suggest he uses narrative echoes. There are also turning points. Where are these? What’s the effect on the reader?

21. Think – Pair - Share

22. It creates tension and a sense of foreboding It moves the novel forward with pace. The amount of things that are repeated mean that we get a sense of the degeneration of the civilisation and progression into violence. It makes it readable too! Golding ensures that we know things are getting worse and we want to read on
