ENG 10
Warm Up:
•How
does the novel end?
•Did
it meet your expectations?
•Why
do you think the author ended in this manner?
Classwork: Discusson one of the following in your small group and present to the class.
1. Why does
Golding end Lord of the Flies with
the rescue of the boys? Does this ending change the realistic nature of the
novel?
2. How
could
this novel be described as an allegory?
If it is an allegory, what message does Golding seem to want to get across to
his readers? What allegorical roles are the characters playing?
3.
What is
the role of religion in the lives of the boys? Is their religion based on
Christianity, or does it seem more pagan?
4. Lord of the Flies was
published in 1954, although it is set in some fictional future. In what ways
does its message seem to speak to the violence that is present in 1954? What
about violence today?
5.
Only one
female voice is presented (very briefly, and in recap) in this novel, that of
Piggy's aunt. Would this story have been different in any important ways if
there had been both boys and girls on the island? In other words, is this a
story about the capacity of humans for violence, or is it a story about the
male capacity for violence? Or is there simply not enough evidence to make an
argument either way?
6.
Similarly—why does it matter that these are kids? Would
adults in the same situation act any differently?
7. How
are
the characters in Lord of the Flies presented
as both "heroic and sick" (6)? As both sane and insane? As both good
and evil?
8.
What role
does fear play in Lord of the Flies?
How does fear affect the boys as the story progresses?
