Abstract

This study of Lord of the Flies as a modernist contribution encourages reflection on the fragility of civilization, the darker aspects of human nature, and individual and collective responsibility. It examines the tension between order and chaos, the influence of authority and the potential for human cruelty when social structures break down.
