Lord of the Flies Theme

The theme I chose is that mankind can't survive unless it works together. One way Golding introduced and developed this plot was with the use of completely different characters. In The Lord of the Flies everyone needs everyone else to survive with Jack, Ralph and Piggy being key characters. However even though we know they need each other and they might as well know they need each other they still can't resolve there differences and Jack is overcome with human instinct over intelligence. The second way I believe Golding helped developed this theme is with the use of setting. The characters on a deserted island so they have to work together but they choose not to. The abandoned island, I believe, helps expedite their feelings and their human inability to work together eventually causing their characters to clash.
