The Spark of Evil within Man as a Driving Factor in Golding�s Lord of the Flies: A Study

Mr Chandramani

Abstract :

With the derailment of the wheel of civilisation in the post war era, there appeared a host of novelists to set right the disjointedness through the cavalcade of works. Among them, William Golding, an outstanding novelist, occupies a prominent place. In order to project the disillusionment and the inevitable doom that modern man has created for himself. Golding resorts to the concept and theme of evil. He explores the dark side of humanity and the savagery that surfaces when social structure is oken down, and rules, ideals, and values are lost. He sees the evil as lying deep in the hearts of modern man accounting the process of regression. Golding finds forces of darkness and savagery working incessantly within man to undermine the beautiful and glittering edifice of modern civilisation.
