Fly In The Fly
Bugs and insects are often used as literary devices in very different ways, yet they mostly have some kind of connection to the protagonists' lives, their
emotions and their character traits. The insect's outward appearance stands in sharp contrast to that of a human being in fiction, yet its character traits
or emotions are personified in order to be similar to those of the human protagonist. This contrast is what makes stories like these so effective. This is,
to a certain extent, also the case in "The Fly" by Katherine Mansfield even though here the human protagonist, the boss, is the one actively projecting his
inner self onto the insect. In fact, it is possible to say that the fly is used as a reflector: it reflects the boss's idealised ... Show more content on

It is important to mention that the only way the boss is able to process his son's death is through crying but one day he fails to cry, starting the
inevitable road to his spiritual death (cf. Boyle 183). More indications of the relation between the failure of the boss and that of the fly are found
on page 164: "Nothing happened or was likely to happen" (Mansfield 164). This can be seen as a reference to the tears the boss ceases to cry and is
most likely not going to be able to cry ever again. The aspect of failure also becomes obvious when looking at the way the fly is described
throughout the last two pages: "It was ready for life again" (Mansfield 163). This shows not only the fly's victory of surviving the fall into the inkpot
but also the new hope the boss finds in observing the fly and testing its limits. This hope, however, dies when the fly dies.
As mentioned before, the
boss experiences his spiritual death (Boyle 183) at the end of the story which is emphasised and illustrated by the death of the fly. The story,
therefore, doesn't seem to be mainly about the death of the fly really but about how the fly's death stands for the boss's spiritual death. It is mainly
caused by his inability to properly grieve for his son anymore, which leads him to loose all kinds of human feelings. Boyle examines the aspect of
the spiritual death in greater detail and explains the connection between the blots of ink and the boss's grief very well, saying "the struggles of the
fly with the blots of ink, in fact, parallel the struggles of the boss with his grief for his son" (184). According to Boyle, the love for the boss's son
could be substituted with the grief he feels after his son's death. (185) It is therefore logical to assume that the moment he stopped grieving, he stopped
loving to a

Lord Of The Flies Allegory
Lord of the flies is a pessimistic novel providing readers with an abundance of metaphors that provides many structures in human life in society.
The novel portrays human behavior in an environment where civilization is no longer has means. Lord of the flies is an allegorical story in which
objects, people, and actions in a narrative have meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The powerful experiences that William Golding lived
through in the Royal Navy in world war two affected Golding's understanding of what people are capable of doing to one another. Goldening
discovered and shared that men produced evil. This evil embodied by many characters and symbols in the novel, Lord of the flies. Lord of the flies is

The followers don't have an opinion or an identity to claim. One leads a quite distinct and at the same time intense life alone. Examples of the
followers in lord of the flies are the innocent littleuns. The littleuns are followers of the biguns, where the biguns often ignore and show no respect
and often aren't aware of their existence, which was evident when "there had been no further numbering of them" (146) in the island. Like the
littluns, followers are easily influenced human beings through emotions and irrationality. In the book the littleuns do not question authority and don't
express one's views on major issues, such as when to ralph argues that "the fire is the most important thing on the island", how can we ever be
rescued except by luck, if we don't have the fire going " with jack. It is a reality that people are sheeps, television is the shepherd, but in the novel the
sheeps are the littleuns who are controlled as puppets and the shepherd is both the biguns and the fear of the unknown beast. In many ways, the

Lord Of The Flies Theme

What is the theme of the Lord of the Flies? The theme of the Lord of the Flies is that all people are born with evil inside of them. The book shows
how even Ralph, the kindest person on the island, is able to commit evil when he tries to harm Roger when Jack is pretending that he is the pig. "Ralph
too was fighting to get near to get a handful of that brown vulnerable flesh"(Golding 114). Another part that shows this theme is when everyone took
part in killing Simon. "The sticks fell and the mouth of the circle crunched and screamed"(152). The final point that I found on this theme is when
Roger willingly kills Piggy. "The rock struck piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased
to exist"(181). Those are some of the instances that show all people are born with evil.
How does this story allude to WWII? The Lord of the Flies alludes to WWII in several different points of the story. In chapter one, the way the
plane crashed on the island and left the 'scar,' is alluding to how Hitler's reign of terror left a scar in the world's history. "All around him the long scar
smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat"(7). The fear that is ravaging the island could easily be compared to how terrified the ... Show more content

Fear in Lord of the Flies
Fear is a driving force in The Lord of the Flies. How does fear in all of its forms influence the boy's attitudes and behaviours?
One of many prominent themes in William Golding's novel, the Lord of the Flies, is Fear. From the very first chapter, until the last, fear plays an
important role in this text. It is the only thing, which stops the boys from acting rationally at times, from questioning curious circumstances and it
physically hindered so many of the boys, so many times. The active role of fear in Lord of the Flies, was intentionally used by Golding, because he
knew what images it would create. Fear is described by Mirriam– Webster's English dictionary, as В‘To be uneasy or apprehensive'. This feeling is

Symbols In Lord Of The Flies
Lord of the flies is about children who end up crashing on an island that is in the middle of nowhere. For me the main character was Ralph. Ralph
took place in many parts of the book. From the conflicts to the bright sides. Ralph was the leader, but throughout the novel, he starts losing most of his
followers. Ralph is intelligent, dedicated, but that doesn't mean that he is scared and sometimes stubborn. This book is called the Lord of the Flies.
Written by William Golding. This essay will be covering 3 symbols that were significant to the book and analyze the symbolism of each. For example,

He believed that is what they needed for survival. Including the fact that if Jack would've watched the fire, they would've been saved sooner and
none of the drama (killing and separation) would've happened. Fire represented light, without the light, there was no warmth. They believe
without the fire the 'beast' would appear. The boys thought the "beast" was a creature that will kill you or at least hurt them. That's why the boys
were afraid of it. Everyone thought it was real and thought they have seen it. Except Simon, Simon was the only one that believed there was no
beast. Simon's personality doesn't seem to change much compared to the others. Jack believes that everyone should go and find the "beast". And
once they do, to kill it. Jack didn't used to be like this at all. Before he was a choir leader, but he changed because he wanted more power, and to get
more power he needs followers. In order to get the followers he has to earn their trust and bribe them into thinking that he is better and he will be
funner. Also that if they were on his team, they would get meat by killing the pigs. At first, everyone thought that the first "beast" was something evil
but something they can use to survive. As soon as they find out the "beast" was a pig, they felt more hope but also became savages after that,
especially Jack. While the twins and Ralph were walking(pg.121–123), they thought that they saw another beast. The twins and Ralph swore that they
saw it and felt it, that the "beast" had yellow up on the trees. It was actually the skeleton of the pilot and the the yellow parachute stuck on the trees.
They actually only saw three sticks ( the human bones) and a rock–like figure that shouldn't have been there ( the skeletons head). Everyone had their

Flies: Savagery
From the beginning of human existence we have been savage. Over the years we have been able to control is in a more civilized way, but humans
still have the urge to kill, the urge for power. In the novel "Lord of the Flies" Golding represents the savagery and selfishness in each human being
through characters and various symbols, whether they are stranded on an isolated island or living in the largest city. Under the cover of each human
being is the originality, where everyone is savage. As the story goes on, Golding represents the boys as "the boys" but after theykill the beast, he begins
to introduce them as "The strange attendant creatures, with fiery eyes and trailing vapors" which represents the intimidating fact that they are no

In the novel, there is a fire that is always lit throughout the story, so that if there is an airplane or a boat that passes by the island they can have the
chance of being rescued. A fire generates light and warmth but can also lead to destruction, it is powerful. When the little boy was killed by the
fire, it was construction as Golding states "The little 'un" gasped Piggy, "him with the mark on his face, I don't see him. Where is he now?" The
crowd was as silent as death". Another symbol that Golding uses is the island. The island is remote, isolated from the rest of the world, isolated
from civilization. The island symbolizes how each human being is like their own island, they are each isolated and selfish. The island is like a small
version of the world, they run their own system. There were no grownups which helped them realize they were on an island "В¬Aren't there any

Lord Of The Flies Themes
Lord of the Flies Important Themes Imagine being stranded on an island with all boys and no adults. This is how it is in William Golding's book
Lord of the Flies. The most significant theme in Lord of the Flies is that of the similarities of the boys' society's relationship to the real world.
Ralph represents Great Britain and its struggle against the Germans (Jack). Jack represents Germany and the control they wanted. Piggy
represented France and its alliance with Great Britain (Ralph). The boys' society on the island mimicked the real world's violence. These are all
reasons why this theme is most important. The boys' society and behavior mimicked the world around them because they each represented a country
in the real world. Each boy had a special personality that mimicked the behavior of a different country in World War Two. Some boys represent the
same country because of the similar actions between them. Their society was also similar to the world around them because they had their own war
and arguments just like in WWII. In WWII there was a lot of violence and death, just like on the island. The violence an death on the island and in

Ralph is Great Britain because he has to deal with Jack and try to keep him happy so they don't fight. This relates to how Great Britain gave

tried to keep Jack from making his own group and from becoming savages. In their efforts fighting Jack, Piggy was killed and Ralph was alone. This

The Flies: A Comparison
A Comparison of The Destructors and Lord of the Flies
In Graham Greene's "The Destructors," the author presents the
Wormsley Common car–park gang, a group of adolescent
delinquents who commit petty crimes for fun. William Golding, in
his novel Lord of the Flies, presents a slightly younger group of
boys who are wrecked on an uninhabited island and develop a
primitive society that eventually collapses and gives way to
despotic savagery. Although these two cases seem rather
different, the boys in both situations show common
characteristics. They react to the outside environment of their
worlds in similar ways. There are also trends in the development

The
boys, who hate all that is of a class above theirs, do not trust
him, and see him as a mean old tyrant. A simple kind act is
grossly misinterpreted by the boys, who have hardly ever
experienced kindness:
"I got some chocolates," Mr. Thomas said. "Don't like Г”em
myself. Here you are. Not enough to go around, I don't suppose.
There never is," he added with somber conviction. He handed
over three packs of Smarties.
The gang were puzzled and perturbed by this action and tried to
explain it away. "Bet someone dropped them and he picked Г”em
up," somebody suggested.
"Pinched Г”em and then got in a bleeding
funk," another thought aloud.
"It's a bribe," Summers said. "He wants us
to stop bouncing balls on his wall."
"We'll show him we don't take bribes," Blackie said,
and they sacrificed the whole morning to the game of bouncing
that only Mike was young enough to enjoy. There was no sign
from Mr. Thomas. (Greene 50)
This complete lack of trust not only shows that the boys have
never been given anything for free, it also demonstrates the hate
that the boys have for Old Misery and how they distance
themselves from him. They form a belief system surrounding him

The classic novel Lord of the Flies is about boys on an island trying to hold on to civilization. The boys show that there is darkness inside every

enforce rules and/or laws on the boy, there is no higher body to determine leadership and/or a leader, and there is also no one in Lord of the Flies to
deal with deviants.William Golding's definition of humanity is following a guide for society in order to keep in their inner evil in check reminding

While talking in a group before hunting, Jack states, "'We'll kill a pig and give a feast...And about the beast. When we kill we'll leave some of the

them. Instead of being benign, they are malicious and selfish because they are hungry and are willing to do whatever in order to benefit themselves
and obtain food. Although the Lord of the Flies is a peace offering for "the beast," it exemplifies the need and wanting to hunt and kill. Ultimately, the
symbolization of the Lord of the Flies resembles the power of violence, since the boys will hurt and kill to help their own well–being. In Lord of the

There is nothing on the island, just these boys he tried to tell them that; he tried to tell them there is nothing to fear. "I know there isn't no beast–not

themselves. They have all turned into such monsters and they are the only 'beasts' on the island. Piggy stays calm under pressure and thinks through
situations clearly and thoughtfully, moreover; he is mature and independent. Piggy should have been elected leader even though his physical features
don't meet the boy's standards. All of the other boys constantly leave him alone to fend for himself and take care of the young boys on the island. His
independence is a principal factor that keeps him from turning into a monster like the rest of the boys do by the middle of the novel. At the beginning of

Depravity In Lord Of The Flies
It is evident in our world that human beings are capable of acts of virtue and well as depravity. Human behavior is often viewed to be determined by
superficial sources. However, the actual source of depravity or virtue is inside humans; it is inherent and uncontrollable. In the novel Lord of the Flies,
Golding suggests that a person's behavior is not determined by one's exposure to certain environments– instead it solely relates to the individual's human
nature and innate human characteristics, especially the predominant characteristic of depravity. To emphasize his claim that human behavior is
determined by the innate tendencies coinciding with human nature, Golding sets his story in a Utopian–based location where it seems almost impossible

Through the character, Simon, Golding is able to convey the true identity of the beast figure. The beast is a representation of the evil qualities lurking
inside all human beings. During one of Simon's epileptic episodes, he hears a message from the Lord of the Flies: "'There isn't anyone to help you.
Only me. And I'm the Beast'...'You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you'...' You know perfectly well you'll only meet me down there
– so don't try to
escape!'" (Golding, 143). The beast is inescapable– it is a part of human nature. With this symbolism, Golding proves his idea that the innate
characteristic of depravity that dwells in humans is capable of manipulating them and is the sole reason why they act the way they do. Because of the
boys' naivetГ©, they are unaware of what the beast really is. Simon is the only one who makes the realization. "However Simon thought of the beast,
there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick" (Golding, 103). The connection between the beast and human nature
is extremely important in Golding's display of how human nature controls humans' decisions. The beast is a recurring symbol in the book that creates
even more upheaval as the story goes on. This symbol of innate human evilness is essentially what propels the boys to act with

father–son, father–fly relationship. Katherine Mansfield, a famous realist, who uses concrete images, appeals to many readers because she incorporates
her life into the stories she writes. Much attention is paid to the central character, the boss and his life (Schoenberg). It is interesting ... Show more

He overwhelms his son by taking control of his future and planning out his life. The boss's plan for his son is to take over the business which gives
the son no other choices or opportunities concerning his future. "Ever since his birth, the boss has worked at building up his business for him; it
had no other meaning if it was not for the boy" (Mansfield 508). It seems as though the physical action of the boss smothering the fly is associated
with the sufferings that his son has experienced. Both the boss's son and the fly go through similar yet different forms of suffering throughout
their lives. Interestingly, while the fly is struggling to live, the boss utters, "Come on, Look Sharp" (Mansfield 509), just as he would say to his
suffering son. Both the fly and victims of wartime fighting (his son) are innocently killed by cruel forces over which they have no control
(Schoenberg). The antagonist is the character or force that represents the opposition to the protagonist and is the source for conflict. Mr.
Woodifield plays the roll of the antagonist in "The Fly". He is a former employee of the boss who comes by the office to visit once a week. The two
men usually talk, catch up, and enjoy each other's company. Mr. Woodifield is not in great health because of a stroke. The boss is five years older
than him and is illustrated as being in much better shape. "Poor old chap, he's on his last pins, thought the boss"

Lord Of The Flies Dbq
"They became motionless, gripped in each other's arms, four unwinking eyes aimed and two mouths open..." Published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is a
story about a plane of English schoolboys that is shot down in the near future over an unnamed island in the pacific ocean. The meaning of the story
depends on the meaning of the beast. In Lord of the Flies, what does the "Beast" symbolize?
When the Beast is first mentioned, it represents fear. According to Claire Rosenfield in her Psychological Analysis of Lord of the Flies, the boys are
frightened by the island in the absence of their "comforting mothers" and they "externalize these fears into the figure of a "Beast." (Doc A) We see
this in action when a little boy with a mulberry birthmark claims to have seen it: "He says he saw the beastie, the snake–thing, and ... Show more

Simon is the first to realize that the beast is "only us" and tries to give voice to "mankind's essential illness" (Doc F). Later, when Simon finds the dead
parachutist, he attempts to tell the others the "Beast is only human." (Doc E). Rather than listening to his words, Simon is brutally attacked and killed
by them: "There were no words and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws" (Doc F). Ironically, Simon, the sensitive boy with the goal to tell
of man's violent nature, is instead mistaken for the beast. Therefore he is murdered by the true, human beast: the boys with "teeth and claws."
Even though the symbolic idea of the beast in Lord of the Flies goes through many changes, they all are connected. Fear of the others turns into war,
and what is war if not the expression of the savagery of humans. The symbolism of the beast doesn't really change, it just becomes more recognizable
as the story goes on. The reader is forced to come to the realization with the simple fact that the beast is in all of

Lord Of The Flies Egalitarianism
Lord of the Flies is an allegorical novel by William Golding, telling the tale of a group of young boys and how their attempt to recreate civilization
on a deserted island eventually leads to savagery and primitivity. In the beginning of the novel, the boys discover a conch shell, and use it as a way
to promote democracy by letting whoever hold it speak uninterrupted. The elected leader of the boys also encourages the rest to build a signal fire
in hopes of getting rescued. Near the climax of the novel, after savagery has taken over most of the boys, a sow's head, named as Lord of the Flies,
is cut and given as an offering to a beast that the boys believe exists somewhere on the island. Golding develops the thematic concept of a desire for...

Simon, the purest of all the children, encounters the Lord of the Flies, which speaks to him: "You knew didn't you? I'm part of you? I'm the
reason why it's no go?" (143). The diction in this segment conveys to the reader that the beast the boys are afraid of, exists in themselves,
preventing them from even having a chance of being rescued. The novel proceeds on an even ghastlier path when the Lord of the Flies tells
Simon, "You're not wanted. Understand? We're going to have fun on this island" (144). From these sentences the reader has confirmed that Simon
is unwanted by the rest of the savages because he is not a savage himself. When the Lord of the Flies says that they are going to have fun on the
island, it means to tell Simon that the savages' form of "fun" has changed from playing in the sand and water, to hunting and killing. Perhaps the
most crucial piece of dialogue coming from the Lord of the Flies, is when it tells Simon that "[they] shall do [him]. Jack and Roger and Maurice
and Robert and Bill and Piggy and Ralph. Do [him]" (144). This conversation is a way of foreshadowing Simon's murder; the Lord of the Flies
refers to this as "doing him." There is also great significance in the sow's head mentioning all of the boys' names, including those who don't seem to be

The Fly By Katherine Mansfield
In the short story, "The Fly" by Katherine Mansfield, a controlling boss is puzzled when he cannot weep over the death of his son. The boss enjoys
being in power and in turn, sadistically murders an innocent fly. In "The Fly," Mansfield tells a story of a controlling and prideful boss who cannot
accept that he has moved on after his son's death, while using symbolism to further explain the story. In the short story, the boss owns a strong business
and relishes the fact that he is in control. Throughout the story Mansfield never exposes the boss's name, so he is simply referred to as "the boss."
The fact that his name is withheld makes the boss seem powerful because a boss has control over all of their employees. Also in the story he gives
Woodifield a "generous finger" of whiskey even though the boss knows he is not supposed to have any. The boss does this simply because he
enjoys being in control of others' lives. On the other hand, the boss is extremely pride filled. Mansfield displays this when she describes what the
boss told people after his son died: "Time... could make no difference. Other men perhaps might recover, might live their loss down, but not he!"
This is the boss saying that he is better, and he has more love for his son than others have for their lost ones. However, what the boss does not know
is that he already has lived his loss down. The boss is in conflict with himself throughout the short story, and does not want to accept that he has already

Violence In Lord Of The Flies
How is violence inherent in human nature? One of the key themes of William Golding's Lord of the Flies is the intrinsic capacity for violence in
human beings. Despite several attempts to maintain a kind of liveable social order, violence that is always hovering at the margins of the narrative
eventually breaks through and consumes the thin civilization Ralph and Piggy have created by the use of the conch as a conduit for power and
legitimacy. It is important to examine several aspects of this interaction and identify the ways in which the philosophy of violence is understood and
represented by Golding in the book. Though the book is informed by violence, violence is, at first, essentially practical in nature; it is either used for

The beast may not be something that can be hunted and killed, and misconceptions regarding what is being hunted and killed actually lead to Simon's
own death. The ritualization of the slaughter of the pig that the boys are eating prior to Simon's death is a kind of drama in which humans and animals
change places. This act evidenced the boys' ever increasing truculent natures. Where the symbolic "victim" of the ritual, the beast––now with a
lowercase letter at its head––is manifested in the form of a human pretending to be a pig. Additionally, the chant attempts to regularize the violent act.
Eventually, the ceremony extends beyond the boundaries of celebration or performance and veers out of control. Simon is explicitly conflated
with "the beast" in the minds of the hunters and participants in the ritual as Golding writes, "The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms
folded over its face. It was crying out against the abominable noise, something about a body on the hill. The beast struggled forward, broke the ring
and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water" (Golding 218). The beast, of course, is Simon himself, just as foretold by the Lord
of the Flies, but the beast, the thing to be feared, is also in the boys themselves as they kill him and give themselves over to the frenzy of violence.

The first person to turn to the dark side with Jack is Ralph who from the beginning of the book was not a good seed. This led to many of the boys
on the island to change over so they can go out and have fun. Jack forming his tribe was the cause of Simon's death because he made them believe
that they should kill the beast if they see it and getting them all rallied up when Simon was coming down from the mountain to tell them that the
beast was actually just a dead parachutist and may be of use to them. Everyone joins in on the fun when Simon comes down and they mistake him
for the beast and kill him. If Jack had not gotten them all hyped up and said that they can take the beast they would have ran and then found out it
was just Simon to tell them of good news. Jack also was the cause for Piggy's death and the destruction of the conch. The reason for this was that

refugees in Rome reveal inhumanity of modern democracy" written by Mariangela Palladino illustrates that society and human beings are in fact
inherently evil. The innate evilness in humans today are displayed through the world's mob mentality against immigrants and refugees causing many
refugees in Rome to lose their home and face harsh treatments, just like the Jack and his tribesmen's aversion towards Simon and Piggy. The article

Rome, Virginia Raggi, supported the refugees and claimed that the city needed to offer refugees human warmth. Now, she's claiming that the city is
facing a crisis and could not welcome anymore migrants. The so–call human warmth she promised had become tear gases, batons and water cannons

The Inner Beast Emerges
The beast that lies inside of us all shows what it can do when it has a chance too.
By Daniel Frankel
The Lord of the Flies is a 250 page novel written by Sir William Golding. It was first published in 1954 and since then, has become a worldwide
success. A quote from Golding was "The right impression is the one that rises to the reader the first time he reads the book", This was perfectly
suited for his book, as his book was a best seller. The movie based on the novel "Lord of the Flies" was first made in 1963 in black and white, then
made again in colour in 1990 by Harry Hook. The movie has many deviations from the book however the storyline is basically the same and proved
a success by grossing just under $14 million in the box office, making it a major film for the time period. Because this novel was such a success
schools all around are still studying it in senior English.
'The Lord of the flies' novel, starts at a reasonable pace and doesn't let the reader lose interest. Sir William Golding writes very descriptively and
creates the images very clearly. For example "his hair plastered to his forehead" this gives the impression of heat, sweat, and steamy air. The story
starts when a group of British school boys are stranded on an uninhabited island. Trying to maintain structure, the boys elect 'Ralph' to be the leader, a
position, Ralph, feels a duty as the eldest to fulfil. However, one of the other boys 'Jack' wants to also be the leader, and

Depravity In Lord Of The Flies
It is evident in our world that human beings are capable of acts of virtue and well as depravity. Human behavior is often viewed to be determined by
superficial sources. However, the actual source of depravity or virtue is inside humans; it is inherent and uncontrollable. In the novel Lord of the Flies,
Golding suggests that a person's behavior is not determined by one's exposure to certain environments– instead it solely relates to the individual's human
nature and innate human characteristics, especially the predominant characteristic of depravity. To emphasize his claim that human behavior is
determined by the innate tendencies coinciding with human nature, Golding sets his story in a Utopian–based location where it seems almost impossible

Through the character, Simon, Golding is able to convey the true identity of the beast figure. The beast is a representation of the evil qualities lurking
inside all human beings. During one of Simon's epileptic episodes, he hears a message from the Lord of the Flies: "'There isn't anyone to help you.
Only me. And I'm the Beast'...'You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you'...' You know perfectly well you'll only meet me down there
– so don't try to
escape!'" (Golding, 143). The beast is inescapable– it is a part of human nature. With this symbolism, Golding proves his idea that the innate
characteristic of depravity that dwells in humans is capable of manipulating them and is the sole reason why they act the way they do. Because of the
boys' naivetГ©, they are unaware of what the beast really is. Simon is the only one who makes the realization. "However Simon thought of the beast,
there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick" (Golding, 103). The connection between the beast and human nature
is extremely important in Golding's display of how human nature controls humans' decisions. The beast is a recurring symbol in the book that creates
even more upheaval as the story goes on. This symbol of innate human evilness is essentially what propels the boys to act with

Character Analysis Of Katherine Mansfield's The Fly
The tragedies war brings people are horrific, and they do not only occur to those who chose to be involved. The death and damage that arise cause
agony, and not all people are able to cope with this agony as well as others. People's personalities significantly affect how they are able to cope. In
Katherine Mansfield's "The Fly," the main character, "the boss," is a man with a naturally controlling personality that influences how he deals with his
war–sourced anguish and overcomes it in a somewhat cruel manner. Being referred to as "the boss," rather than his birth–given name, tells a great deal
about the boss. The boss in "The Fly" has a very bossy personality finding great pleasure in being in control. Readers can tell that the boss is
controlling by his method of killing the fly in his office. He carefully observes the fly struggle to stand after being unstuck from the inkpot and he
drowns the fly with the ink from his pen. After the boss observes the fly finish its "laborious task" of freeing itself, he refills his pen and shakes
"another dark drop." The boss then asks, "What about this time?" as he repeats his actions twice more. Even after the fly dies he commands it:
"Come on... Look sharp!" This proves that the boss is empowered by displaying his dominance even over such a helpless insect. Readers also see
that the boss is taking advantage of his control when he orders his secretary Macey around. He first tells him, "I'll see nobody for half an hour, Macey.

Analysis Of The Fly By Katherine Mansfield
The hunger for power continues to dominate. The short story "The Fly" by Katherine Mansfield demonstrates how power can be abused by
symbolizing World War One. The various symbols in this story demonstrate the perspective Mansfield has on the war as well as showing the various
point of views. It is important to acknowledge what abusing power can lead to and this story shows it effectively.
The boss, although portrayed to be devastated over the loss of his brave son in World War One, is an allegory for the war generals. This is shown
by the use of control and power, childlike actions and lack of reflection on his actions. From the beginning, the boss establishes that he is in
control. He speaks about the new upgrades he has done to his office to Mr. Woodifield and, "It gave him a feeling of deep, solid satisfaction to be
planted there in the midst of it in full view of that frail old figure in the muffler." (Mansfield 1). Even though Mr. Woodifield is five years his junior
he sees himself as above him. This mood is established very early in the story and shows how he enjoys being in control and being superior, like a
war general. The boss lacks compassion and basic humanity after he is done "playing" with the fly. When the fly is finally finished fighting for life, the
boss, "... flung it into the waste–paper basket." (6). This shows how disposable the generals thought the soldiers were; after one is dead, they are
discarded and life continues. This over–playing is also childish. Mansfield may be implying that the generals were quite childish, by mentioning how
Mr. Woodifield was peeking around to see the boss, "... as a baby peers out of its pram." (1). Even though it is not the boss doing the peeking, the
fact that the childness was noted is an indication of Mansfield's perspective of the generals. Despite the boss' son fighting and dying in the war, the
boss does not learn anything from this similar event with the fly. He forgets what he was thinking about before the fly dies and wonders, "What was
it? It was... For the life of him he could not remember."(6). The tragedy of war is often blinding. This blindness caused by those traumatic events lead
to a lack of understanding. Without an understanding of

The Lord of The Flies is a novel of depth and symbolism that, through intricate storytelling, is able to demonstrate mankind's innate capacity for
savagery, evil, and ignorance in the face of reason. Perhaps nowhere within the novel are these themes best exemplified and effective than in the feast

When the group murdered Simon as a whole, they proved beyond any doubt that they were capable of completely giving up the ideals of their past to
commit acts of unimaginable brutality. Their actions were foreshadowed in the words of the Lord Of The Flies, who told Simon that "You know
perfectly well you'll only meet me down there–so don't try to escape!". This scene puts into action this prophecy, confirming the idea that the beast that
they feared so much was within them all along. Due to Simon's symbolic position within the story as an almost messianic bastion of kindness and
reason, his death symbolizes both his physical murder and the island–wide death of innocence, rationality, and gentleness. In the chronology of the
novel, this scene represents the shift into chaos and rule by force that sets into play the death of Piggy later within the novel and the island–wide

When Simon first encounters the Lord of the Flies, he suddenly understands that adults are truly not that much different than the other boys on the
island: "The half–shut eyes were dim the infinite cynicism of adult life" (Golding 137). Simon realizes that "adult life" too has some evil inside them;
they are not always the perfect examples children look up to. Adults have an "infinite cynicism," or a lot of bitterness and wrong–doing in them as
well. Simon implies that adults are simply more experienced at hiding their savage instincts behind the shroud of society. By creating this interaction
between Simon and the Lord of the Flies, Golding reveals that adults would have reduced to the same barbaric beings as the boys. In "Ecocritical

dominion of darkness there is no place left for spirituality, evil is present everywhere" (Thapliyal and Kunwar 88). The authors describe the Lord of
the Flies as the darkness "within human:" in essence, they are describing human nature as having an inner evil. At no point in the criticism do they
imply that the boys become evil because they behave horribly without adult guidance; rather, "evil is present everywhere" and adults are no
exceptions. The symbol of the Lord of the Flies shows that there is evil in everyone, therefore adults as well as disorderly young boys, when put in a
situation like the plane crash on the island, would have resulted in the same war–ridden

How to Purchase a Fly Rod
So you have made a decision to purchase a fly rod. Whether because you are just starting the sport of fly fishing, or you want to upgrade to a new or
better rod than the one you have now. This is an important decision. The rod is the one most important piece of equipment you need to have. Therefore
a purchase that should not be made on a whim, suggestion or impulse. Remember that there are over 320 QUALITY fly rods on the market that fit into
the basic requirements needed for trout, pan fish, and most bass caught in the Rocky mountain region or the lower 48 for that mater.
Let me clarify "quality", or better yet what is not a quality rod. Walk in to any Discount store that sellsfishing equipment or Big Box sporting ... Show

Your Body Mechanics is basically the way you as an person will cast a fly rod vs. someone else. If you are just beginning to fly cast, have someone
who can annualize your cast to help you. You need to be able to cast a little and have a basic understanding of what a good cast looks/feels like. The
best place to do this is a real FLY SHOP!
What is Rod Action? Fly Rod action is the way and/or where the rod bends along its length during the casting stroke. The rod bends from the weight
of the fly line pulling (or causing resistance) against the tip of the rod, otherwise known as "LOADING". Stopping the rods movement and releasing
the energy is " unloading" the rod. Where or how much of the rod bends or how much resistance it takes to bend the rod, determines the action.
There are basically four actions. Slow action, very flexible, loads very easy, takes a very good and smooth casting stroke to cast well.
Soft or medium, flexes down about half way down the rod, also loads easier than the faster rods. Also takes a developed casting stroke to cast

Symbolism In Lord Of The Flies
Society tends to be self–flattering, holding itself to the imaginary civilized population it thinks of itself as. However, William Golding challenges
this mindset in his novel, Lord of the Flies. Ralph, a child stranded on a deserted island in Lord of the Flies, agrees with today's society's logic at
first, stating, "'We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything'" (Golding
42). Evident from the events that take place throughout the book, however, the opposite is true. According to Golding's Lord of the Flies, society is
unable to function without a clear set of rules, and when those rules are taken away, people kids.
When to their original savage state.

As Roger explains while throwing rocks at one of the littluns, "There was a space round Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare
not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life" (62). Unfortunately, as time moves on, they grow increasingly distant from these
taboos, and more accepting of the primitive ways of unfiltered human nature. The island acts as a sort of solitary confinement for the boys, forcing
them to leave the society they were used to. The boys slowly realize there are no real consequences for breaking the rules, so they start to view the
rules as pointless, with the help of Jack, a power–loving kid that causes most of the issues on the island. As months crawl by and Ralph and the other
boys realize they might never get rescued, they come to the conclusion that there is no need to follow the rules and turn insubordinate. When there
are no rules or laws put into place to stop people, the natural thing for them to do is to turn back to their primitive ways. Human nature is an ugly
thing, and when the principles for behavior are taken away, there is nothing to purify or screen it. When Jack takes control of the tribe, the "savages"
grow increasingly more violent and brutal. Without Ralph's or Piggy's rules, a mask is lifted from the boys' inner desires. Piggy tries to reason with
tribe by asking them a simple question, "'Which is better –to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?'" (180), but at this point, even a

Fly In The Fly

  • 1. Fly In The Fly Bugs and insects are often used as literary devices in very different ways, yet they mostly have some kind of connection to the protagonists' lives, their emotions and their character traits. The insect's outward appearance stands in sharp contrast to that of a human being in fiction, yet its character traits or emotions are personified in order to be similar to those of the human protagonist. This contrast is what makes stories like these so effective. This is, to a certain extent, also the case in "The Fly" by Katherine Mansfield even though here the human protagonist, the boss, is the one actively projecting his inner self onto the insect. In fact, it is possible to say that the fly is used as a reflector: it reflects the boss's idealised ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is important to mention that the only way the boss is able to process his son's death is through crying but one day he fails to cry, starting the inevitable road to his spiritual death (cf. Boyle 183). More indications of the relation between the failure of the boss and that of the fly are found on page 164: "Nothing happened or was likely to happen" (Mansfield 164). This can be seen as a reference to the tears the boss ceases to cry and is most likely not going to be able to cry ever again. The aspect of failure also becomes obvious when looking at the way the fly is described throughout the last two pages: "It was ready for life again" (Mansfield 163). This shows not only the fly's victory of surviving the fall into the inkpot but also the new hope the boss finds in observing the fly and testing its limits. This hope, however, dies when the fly dies.
As mentioned before, the boss experiences his spiritual death (Boyle 183) at the end of the story which is emphasised and illustrated by the death of the fly. The story, therefore, doesn't seem to be mainly about the death of the fly really but about how the fly's death stands for the boss's spiritual death. It is mainly caused by his inability to properly grieve for his son anymore, which leads him to loose all kinds of human feelings. Boyle examines the aspect of the spiritual death in greater detail and explains the connection between the blots of ink and the boss's grief very well, saying "the struggles of the fly with the blots of ink, in fact, parallel the struggles of the boss with his grief for his son" (184). According to Boyle, the love for the boss's son could be substituted with the grief he feels after his son's death. (185) It is therefore logical to assume that the moment he stopped grieving, he stopped loving to a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Lord Of The Flies Allegory Lord of the flies is a pessimistic novel providing readers with an abundance of metaphors that provides many structures in human life in society. The novel portrays human behavior in an environment where civilization is no longer has means. Lord of the flies is an allegorical story in which objects, people, and actions in a narrative have meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The powerful experiences that William Golding lived through in the Royal Navy in world war two affected Golding's understanding of what people are capable of doing to one another. Goldening discovered and shared that men produced evil. This evil embodied by many characters and symbols in the novel, Lord of the flies. Lord of the flies is an allegory for society... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The followers don't have an opinion or an identity to claim. One leads a quite distinct and at the same time intense life alone. Examples of the followers in lord of the flies are the innocent littleuns. The littleuns are followers of the biguns, where the biguns often ignore and show no respect and often aren't aware of their existence, which was evident when "there had been no further numbering of them" (146) in the island. Like the littluns, followers are easily influenced human beings through emotions and irrationality. In the book the littleuns do not question authority and don't express one's views on major issues, such as when to ralph argues that "the fire is the most important thing on the island", how can we ever be rescued except by luck, if we don't have the fire going " with jack. It is a reality that people are sheeps, television is the shepherd, but in the novel the sheeps are the littleuns who are controlled as puppets and the shepherd is both the biguns and the fear of the unknown beast. In many ways, the littleuns exemplify every detail and aspects of society, who are controlled by a greater common ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Lord Of The Flies Theme Brayden Mellring Mrs. Matthews English 10 27 April 2017 What is the theme of the Lord of the Flies? The theme of the Lord of the Flies is that all people are born with evil inside of them. The book shows how even Ralph, the kindest person on the island, is able to commit evil when he tries to harm Roger when Jack is pretending that he is the pig. "Ralph too was fighting to get near to get a handful of that brown vulnerable flesh"(Golding 114). Another part that shows this theme is when everyone took part in killing Simon. "The sticks fell and the mouth of the circle crunched and screamed"(152). The final point that I found on this theme is when Roger willingly kills Piggy. "The rock struck piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist"(181). Those are some of the instances that show all people are born with evil. How does this story allude to WWII? The Lord of the Flies alludes to WWII in several different points of the story. In chapter one, the way the plane crashed on the island and left the 'scar,' is alluding to how Hitler's reign of terror left a scar in the world's history. "All around him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat"(7). The fear that is ravaging the island could easily be compared to how terrified the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The reader never finds out what Piggy's true name is when he tells Ralph that Piggy was his nickname back in their homeland. Piggy said, "They used to call me Piggy"(11). All of the smaller boys' identities are lost when they are called littluns. "The smaller boys were known by the generic title of littluns"(59). In the end of the last chapter, Percival is traumatized to the point that he forgot his name. "One of them came close to the officer and looked up." Percival said, "I'm, I'm–" But there was no more to come"(201). Those are some of the points in the story that address self ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Fear in Lord of the Flies Fear is a driving force in The Lord of the Flies. How does fear in all of its forms influence the boy's attitudes and behaviours? One of many prominent themes in William Golding's novel, the Lord of the Flies, is Fear. From the very first chapter, until the last, fear plays an important role in this text. It is the only thing, which stops the boys from acting rationally at times, from questioning curious circumstances and it physically hindered so many of the boys, so many times. The active role of fear in Lord of the Flies, was intentionally used by Golding, because he knew what images it would create. Fear is described by Mirriam– Webster's English dictionary, as В‘To be uneasy or apprehensive'. This feeling is mutually experienced by ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... "...there was a space around Henry, perhaps six yards in diameter, into which he dare not throw. Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life. Round the squatting child was the protection of parents and school and policemen and the law. Roger's arm was conditioned by a civilization that knew nothing of him and was in ruins." In this situation one would expect for Roger to hit Henry, but his fear of the normal consequences ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Symbols In Lord Of The Flies Lord of the flies is about children who end up crashing on an island that is in the middle of nowhere. For me the main character was Ralph. Ralph took place in many parts of the book. From the conflicts to the bright sides. Ralph was the leader, but throughout the novel, he starts losing most of his followers. Ralph is intelligent, dedicated, but that doesn't mean that he is scared and sometimes stubborn. This book is called the Lord of the Flies. Written by William Golding. This essay will be covering 3 symbols that were significant to the book and analyze the symbolism of each. For example, in the second paragraph, it will cover what the fire symbolized and what the "beast" is, the third and fourth paragraph will be about the Lord of The ...

Including the fact that if Jack would've watched the fire, they would've been saved sooner and none of the drama (killing and separation) would've happened. Fire represented light, without the light, there was no warmth. They believe without the fire the 'beast' would appear. The boys thought the "beast" was a creature that will kill you or at least hurt them. That's why the boys were afraid of it. Everyone thought it was real and thought they have seen it. Except Simon, Simon was the only one that believed there was no beast. Simon's personality doesn't seem to change much compared to the others. Jack believes that everyone should go and find the "beast". And once they do, to kill it. Jack didn't used to be like this at all. Before he was a choir leader, but he changed because he wanted more power, and to get more power he needs followers. In order to get the followers he has to earn their trust and bribe them into thinking that he is better and he will be funner.

The most significant theme in Lord of the Flies is that of the similarities of the boys' society's relationship to the real world. Ralph represents Great Britain and its struggle against the Germans (Jack). Jack represents Germany and the control they wanted. Piggy represented France and its alliance with Great Britain (Ralph). The boys' society on the island mimicked the real world's violence. These are all reasons why this theme is most important. The boys' society and behavior mimicked the world around them because they each represented a country in the real world. Each boy had a special personality that mimicked the behavior of a different country in World War Two. Some boys represent the same country because of the similar actions between them.

Instead of being benign, they are malicious and selfish because they are hungry and are willing to do whatever in order to benefit themselves and obtain food. Although the Lord of the Flies is a peace offering for "the beast," it exemplifies the need and wanting to hunt and kill. Ultimately, the symbolization of the Lord of the Flies resembles the power of violence, since the boys will hurt and kill to help their own well–being.

While trying to determine the agenda for starting the fire, Jack exclaims, "'His specs–use them as burning glasses'...Jack snatched the glasses off his face...'I can hardly see!'" (Golding 40).

They have all turned into such monsters and they are the only 'beasts' on the island. Piggy stays calm under pressure and thinks through situations clearly and thoughtfully, moreover; he is mature and independent. Piggy should have been elected leader even though his physical features don't meet the boy's standards.

Human behavior is often viewed to be determined by superficial sources. However, the actual source of depravity or virtue is inside humans; it is inherent and uncontrollable. In the novel Lord of the Flies, Golding suggests that a person's behavior is not determined by one's exposure to certain environments– instead it solely relates to the individual's human nature and innate human characteristics, especially the predominant characteristic of depravity. To emphasize his claim that human behavior is determined by the innate tendencies coinciding with human nature, Golding sets his story in a Utopian–based location where it seems almost impossible ...

The beast is a representation of the evil qualities lurking inside all human beings. During one of Simon's epileptic episodes, he hears a message from the Lord of the Flies: "'There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast'...'You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you'...' You know perfectly well you'll only meet me down there – so don't try to escape!'" (Golding, 143). The beast is inescapable– it is a part of human nature. With this symbolism, Golding proves his idea that the innate characteristic of depravity that dwells in humans is capable of manipulating them and is the sole reason why they act the way they do. Because of the boys' naivetГ©, they are unaware of what the beast really is. Simon is the only one who makes the realization. "However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick" (Golding, 103). The connection between the beast and human nature is extremely important in Golding's display of how human nature controls humans' decisions.

"Ever since his birth, the boss has worked at building up his business for him; it had no other meaning if it was not for the boy" (Mansfield 508). It seems as though the physical action of the boss smothering the fly is associated with the sufferings that his son has experienced. Both the boss's son and the fly go through similar yet different forms of suffering throughout their lives. Interestingly, while the fly is struggling to live, the boss utters, "Come on, Look Sharp" (Mansfield 509), just as he would say to his suffering son. Both the fly and victims of wartime fighting (his son) are innocently killed by cruel forces over which they have no control (Schoenberg). The antagonist is the character or force that represents the opposition to the protagonist and is the source for conflict. Mr. Woodifield plays the roll of the antagonist in "The Fly".

Published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is a story about a plane of English schoolboys that is shot down in the near future over an unnamed island in the pacific ocean. The meaning of the story depends on the meaning of the beast. In Lord of the Flies, what does the "Beast" symbolize? When the Beast is first mentioned, it represents fear. According to Claire Rosenfield in her Psychological Analysis of Lord of the Flies, the boys are frightened by the island in the absence of their "comforting mothers" and they "externalize these fears into the figure of a "Beast." (Doc A) We see this in action when a little boy with a mulberry birthmark claims to have seen it: "He says he saw the beastie, the snake–thing, and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Simon is the first to realize that the beast is "only us" and tries to give voice to "mankind's essential illness" (Doc F). Later, when Simon finds the dead parachutist, he attempts to tell the others the "Beast is only human." (Doc E). Rather than listening to his words, Simon is brutally attacked and killed by them: "There were no words and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws" (Doc F). Ironically, Simon, the sensitive boy with the goal to tell of man's violent nature, is instead mistaken for the beast. Therefore he is murdered by the true, human beast: the boys with "teeth and claws." Even though the symbolic idea of the beast in Lord of the Flies goes through many changes, they all are connected. Fear of the others turns into war, and what is war if not the expression of the savagery of humans.

Simon, the purest of all the children, encounters the Lord of the Flies, which speaks to him: "You knew didn't you? I'm part of you? I'm the reason why it's no go?" (143). The diction in this segment conveys to the reader that the beast the boys are afraid of, exists in themselves, preventing them from even having a chance of being rescued. The novel proceeds on an even ghastlier path when the Lord of the Flies tells Simon, "You're not wanted. Understand? We're going to have fun on this island" (144). From these sentences the reader has confirmed that Simon is unwanted by the rest of the savages because he is not a savage himself. When the Lord of the Flies says that they are going to have fun on the island, it means to tell Simon that the savages' form of "fun" has changed from playing in the sand and water, to hunting and killing. Perhaps the most crucial piece of dialogue coming from the Lord of the Flies, is when it tells Simon that "[they] shall do [him]. Jack and Roger and Maurice and Robert and Bill and Piggy and Ralph. Do [him]" (144). This conversation is a way of foreshadowing Simon's murder; the Lord of the Flies refers to this as "doing him."

  • 25. The Fly By Katherine Mansfield In the short story, "The Fly" by Katherine Mansfield, a controlling boss is puzzled when he cannot weep over the death of his son. The boss enjoys being in power and in turn, sadistically murders an innocent fly. In "The Fly," Mansfield tells a story of a controlling and prideful boss who cannot accept that he has moved on after his son's death, while using symbolism to further explain the story. In the short story, the boss owns a strong business and relishes the fact that he is in control. Throughout the story Mansfield never exposes the boss's name, so he is simply referred to as "the boss." The fact that his name is withheld makes the boss seem powerful because a boss has control over all of their employees. Also in the story he gives Woodifield a "generous finger" of whiskey even though the boss knows he is not supposed to have any. The boss does this simply because he enjoys being in control of others' lives. On the other hand, the boss is extremely pride filled. Mansfield displays this when she describes what the boss told people after his son died: "Time... could make no difference. Other men perhaps might recover, might live their loss down, but not he!" This is the boss saying that he is better, and he has more love for his son than others have for their lost ones. However, what the boss does not know is that he already has lived his loss down.

The beast may not be something that can be hunted and killed, and misconceptions regarding what is being hunted and killed actually lead to Simon's own death. The ritualization of the slaughter of the pig that the boys are eating prior to Simon's death is a kind of drama in which humans and animals change places. This act evidenced the boys' ever increasing truculent natures. Where the symbolic "victim" of the ritual, the beast––now with a lowercase letter at its head––is manifested in the form of a human pretending to be a pig. Additionally, the chant attempts to regularize the violent act. Eventually, the ceremony extends beyond the boundaries of celebration or performance and veers out of control. Simon is explicitly conflated with "the beast" in the minds of the hunters and participants in the ritual as Golding writes, "The beast was on its knees in the center, its arms folded over its face. It was crying out against the abominable noise, something about a body on the hill. The beast struggled forward, broke the ring and fell over the steep edge of the rock to the sand by the water" (Golding 218). The beast, of course, is Simon himself, just as foretold by the Lord of the Flies, but the beast, the thing to be feared, is also in the boys themselves as they kill him and give themselves over to the frenzy of violence.

This led to many of the boys on the island to change over so they can go out and have fun. Jack forming his tribe was the cause of Simon's death because he made them believe that they should kill the beast if they see it and getting them all rallied up when Simon was coming down from the mountain to tell them that the beast was actually just a dead parachutist and may be of use to them. Everyone joins in on the fun when Simon comes down and they mistake him for the beast and kill him. If Jack had not gotten them all hyped up and said that they can take the beast they would have ran and then found out it was just Simon to tell them of good news. Jack also was the cause for Piggy's death and the destruction of the conch. The reason for this was that he had unleashed the boy's demons especially Roger's. Roger had found a love for torture and killing and when he has the chance to take out one of the good guys when he can't defend himself he takes his chance and kills Piggy and destroys the conch with the boulder.

Evilness In Lord Of The Flies Lord of the Flies Essay Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a perfect epitome of the belief that humans are inherently evil since the boys on the island, without society's law and order, loses their humanity resulting in an anarchy, deaths, and a tragic ending. The article, "Violent evictions of refugees in Rome reveal inhumanity of modern democracy" written by Mariangela Palladino illustrates that society and human beings are in fact inherently evil. The innate evilness in humans today are displayed through the world's mob mentality against immigrants and refugees causing many refugees in Rome to lose their home and face harsh treatments, just like the Jack and his tribesmen's aversion towards Simon and Piggy. The article from The Conversation speaks about immigrants and refugees in Rome being turned upon, having no place to stay after being kicked out from the city's square. The riots got so bad to the point where a policeman said "If they throw something, break their arm". Eight months ago, the mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, supported the refugees and claimed that the city needed to offer refugees human warmth. Now, she's claiming that the city is facing a crisis and could not welcome anymore migrants.

By Daniel Frankel The Lord of the Flies is a 250 page novel written by Sir William Golding. It was first published in 1954 and since then, has become a worldwide success. A quote from Golding was "The right impression is the one that rises to the reader the first time he reads the book", This was perfectly suited for his book, as his book was a best seller. The movie based on the novel "Lord of the Flies" was first made in 1963 in black and white, then made again in colour in 1990 by Harry Hook.

  • 30. Depravity In Lord Of The Flies It is evident in our world that human beings are capable of acts of virtue and well as depravity. Human behavior is often viewed to be determined by superficial sources. However, the actual source of depravity or virtue is inside humans; it is inherent and uncontrollable. In the novel Lord of the Flies, Golding suggests that a person's behavior is not determined by one's exposure to certain environments– instead it solely relates to the individual's human nature and innate human characteristics, especially the predominant characteristic of depravity. To emphasize his claim that human behavior is determined by the innate tendencies coinciding with human nature, Golding sets his story in a Utopian–based location where it seems almost impossible ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Through the character, Simon, Golding is able to convey the true identity of the beast figure. The beast is a representation of the evil qualities lurking inside all human beings. During one of Simon's epileptic episodes, he hears a message from the Lord of the Flies: "'There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast'...'You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you'...' You know perfectly well you'll only meet me down there – so don't try to escape!'" (Golding, 143). The beast is inescapable– it is a part of human nature. With this symbolism, Golding proves his idea that the innate characteristic of depravity that dwells in humans is capable of manipulating them and is the sole reason why they act the way they do. Because of the boys' naivetГ©, they are unaware of what the beast really is. Simon is the only one who makes the realization. "However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick" (Golding, 103). The connection between the beast and human nature is extremely important in Golding's display of how human nature controls humans' decisions. The beast is a recurring symbol in the book that creates even more upheaval as the story goes on. This symbol of innate human evilness is essentially what propels the boys to act with ...

  • 32. Character Analysis Of Katherine Mansfield's The Fly The tragedies war brings people are horrific, and they do not only occur to those who chose to be involved. The death and damage that arise cause agony, and not all people are able to cope with this agony as well as others. People's personalities significantly affect how they are able to cope. In Katherine Mansfield's "The Fly," the main character, "the boss," is a man with a naturally controlling personality that influences how he deals with his war–sourced anguish and overcomes it in a somewhat cruel manner. Being referred to as "the boss," rather than his birth–given name, tells a great deal about the boss. The boss in "The Fly" has a very bossy personality finding great pleasure in being in control. Readers can tell that the boss is controlling by his method of killing the fly in his office. He carefully observes the fly struggle to stand after being unstuck from the inkpot and he drowns the fly with the ink from his pen. After the boss observes the fly finish its "laborious task" of freeing itself, he refills his pen and shakes "another dark drop." The boss then asks, "What about this time?" as he repeats his actions twice more. Even after the fly dies he commands it: "Come on... Look sharp!" This proves that the boss is empowered by displaying his dominance even over such a helpless insect. Readers also see that the boss is taking advantage of his control when he orders his secretary Macey around. He first tells him, "I'll see nobody for half an hour, Macey. ...

  • 33. Analysis Of The Fly By Katherine Mansfield The hunger for power continues to dominate. The short story "The Fly" by Katherine Mansfield demonstrates how power can be abused by symbolizing World War One. The various symbols in this story demonstrate the perspective Mansfield has on the war as well as showing the various point of views. It is important to acknowledge what abusing power can lead to and this story shows it effectively. The boss, although portrayed to be devastated over the loss of his brave son in World War One, is an allegory for the war generals. This is shown by the use of control and power, childlike actions and lack of reflection on his actions. From the beginning, the boss establishes that he is in control. He speaks about the new upgrades he has done to his office to Mr. Woodifield and, "It gave him a feeling of deep, solid satisfaction to be planted there in the midst of it in full view of that frail old figure in the muffler." (Mansfield 1). Even though Mr. Woodifield is five years his junior he sees himself as above him. This mood is established very early in the story and shows how he enjoys being in control and being superior, like a war general. The boss lacks compassion and basic humanity after he is done "playing" with the fly. When the fly is finally finished fighting for life, the boss, "... flung it into the waste–paper basket." (6). This shows how disposable the generals thought the soldiers were; after one is dead, they are discarded and life continues. This over–playing is also childish. Mansfield may be implying that the generals were quite childish, by mentioning how Mr. Woodifield was peeking around to see the boss, "... as a baby peers out of its pram." (1). Even though it is not the boss doing the peeking, the fact that the childness was noted is an indication of Mansfield's perspective of the generals. Despite the boss' son fighting and dying in the war, the boss does not learn anything from this similar event with the fly. He forgets what he was thinking about before the fly dies and wonders, "What was it? It was... For the life of him he could not remember."(6). The tragedy of war is often blinding. This blindness caused by those traumatic events lead to a lack of understanding. Without an understanding of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 37. The Flies: Savagery The Lord of The Flies is a novel of depth and symbolism that, through intricate storytelling, is able to demonstrate mankind's innate capacity for savagery, evil, and ignorance in the face of reason. Perhaps nowhere within the novel are these themes best exemplified and effective than in the feast by the beach in chapter eight. In this scene, the boys under the command of Jack feast upon the meat from a pig they'd slaughtered earlier in the day. They are soon joined by Ralph and Piggy, who participate with them in a strange tribal dance that ultimately results in the murder of Simon, who was just about to tell them that the beast they feared so much was simply a dead soldier in a parachute.

When the group murdered Simon as a whole, they proved beyond any doubt that they were capable of completely giving up the ideals of their past to commit acts of unimaginable brutality. Their actions were foreshadowed in the words of the Lord Of The Flies, who told Simon that "You know perfectly well you'll only meet me down there–so don't try to escape!". This scene puts into action this prophecy, confirming the idea that the beast that they feared so much was within them all along. Due to Simon's symbolic position within the story as an almost messianic bastion of kindness and reason, his death symbolizes both his physical murder and the island–wide death of innocence, rationality, and gentleness. In the chronology of the novel, this scene represents the shift into chaos and rule by force that sets into play the death of Piggy later within the novel and the island–wide manhunt for Ralph in the final chapter.

  • 39. Violence In Lord Of The Flies What makes us human? Using careless young boys as his vessel in teaching the ways of mankind, William Golding paints a dark picture of man's violent and barbaric core throughout his book, Lord of the Flies. In this thrilling novel, a group of young boys are left on an island with no adult supervision after their plane crashes. At first mention of the plot, the end is clear: the boys will not know how to properly order themselves, they will misbehave, and anarchy will take over the island. But why are these assumptions made? Although some of these predictions do come true, the violence that happens is not a result of the boys' young age, for the adults in this novel are just as savage.

When Simon first encounters the Lord of the Flies, he suddenly understands that adults are truly not that much different than the other boys on the island: "The half–shut eyes were dim the infinite cynicism of adult life" (Golding 137). Simon realizes that "adult life" too has some evil inside them; they are not always the perfect examples children look up to. Adults have an "infinite cynicism," or a lot of bitterness and wrong–doing in them as well. Simon implies that adults are simply more experienced at hiding their savage instincts behind the shroud of society. By creating this interaction between Simon and the Lord of the Flies, Golding reveals that adults would have reduced to the same barbaric beings as the boys. In "Ecocritical Reading of William Golding's Lord of the Flies" the authors, Rohitash Thapliyal and Shakuntala Kunwar, go into detail about the symbolism surrounding this scene of the book: "The encounter of Simon – the spiritual – with the Lord of the Flies (the evil within human) explains that in this dominion of darkness there is no place left for spirituality, evil is present everywhere" (Thapliyal and Kunwar 88). The authors describe the Lord of the Flies as the darkness "within human:" in essence, they are describing human nature as having an inner evil. At no point in the criticism do they imply that the boys become evil because they behave horribly without adult guidance; rather, "evil is present everywhere" and adults are no exceptions.

However, William Golding challenges this mindset in his novel, Lord of the Flies. Ralph, a child stranded on a deserted island in Lord of the Flies, agrees with today's society's logic at first, stating, "'We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything'" (Golding 42). Evident from the events that take place throughout the book, however, the opposite is true.

Here, invisible yet strong, was the taboo of the old life" (62). Unfortunately, as time moves on, they grow increasingly distant from these taboos, and more accepting of the primitive ways of unfiltered human nature. The island acts as a sort of solitary confinement for the boys, forcing them to leave the society they were used to. The boys slowly realize there are no real consequences for breaking the rules, so they start to view the rules as pointless, with the help of Jack, a power–loving kid that causes most of the issues on the island. As months crawl by and Ralph and the other boys realize they might never get rescued, they come to the conclusion that there is no need to follow the rules and turn insubordinate. When there are no rules or laws put into place to stop people, the natural thing for them to do is to turn back to their primitive ways. Human nature is an ugly thing, and when the principles for behavior are taken away, there is nothing to purify or screen it. When Jack takes control of the tribe, the "savages" grow increasingly more violent and brutal. Without Ralph's or Piggy's rules, a mask is lifted from the boys' inner desires.
