"Lord of the Flies" by William Golding tells the gripping story of a group of boys stranded on an uninhabited island after their plane crashes. Initially, they attempt to establish order and create a society. However, as fear and savagery take over, their attempts at civilization unravel. Conflicts arise between Ralph, who advocates for democracy, and Jack, who embraces chaos and violence. The boys descend into primal behavior, culminating in tragedy and moral loss. Golding explores themes of human nature, civilization versus savagery, and the darkness within humanity through this harrowing tale of survival and societal breakdown.
