In a world without law and order, fear can lead to savagery and bring out the worst in people. Such a world can destroy a person physically and mentally. Humans would live in chaos and civilization would be lost. We see this in William Golding's famous novel, Lord of the Flies, when the horrific crash of a plane penetrates the serenity of the island and disrupts the air with the crackling of blazing fire. William Golding uses the "beast" to bring the island boys back to their primal instincts, contributing to his commentary on human nature. The beast symbolizes the growing fear that lies deep within the children's souls and transforms the boys into uncivilized beings. William Golding uses the beast to strike fear into the souls of the boys. While everyone is afraid of the beast and wondering what exactly it is, Simon suggests something else. He agrees with everyone that the beast might exist. But unlike everyone else, Simon comments, “maybe it’s just us.” (Golding 89) This comment shows that the beast could simply coexist in their bodies. The beast is simply made up and not real, and is just a product of their growing fear of the unknown. Fear of the beast activates their primal instincts and creates them. Without the mentality needed to survive, the boys struggle to find food and build shelter effectively. They slowly lose everything they had when they arrived on the island. The boys act somewhat like Native Americans because of their actions. Look like Native Americans through song, dance, and makeup to represent power and fierceness. Moving to the desert island triggers the fear that lies deep within them. Every person on the island combs... middle of paper. ....exists with boys. Eventually, the fear of the beast invades everyone. The boys almost lose their minds and completely transform into beasts like Jack did. The process by which a boy becomes a savage is a recurring event. The first step is when the boys arrive on the island, breaking the barrier of tranquility that once existed. Then the fear grows through the other boys' ideas, giving each one troubled thoughts and vivid imaginations of the "beast." Fear eventually consumes the boys entirely, turning them into savages and forcing them to rely on their primal instincts to survive in a world without unity or order. The integration of the beast and the boys is only possible given the circumstances created by William Golding in the novel and is unprecedented in today's society, as we see this old perspective from society's primitive times which once existed..
