Ralph is a main character whose point of view is heard the most by the readers – he is tall, fair-haired, and not very talkative.

While some of them try to keep a clear mind and use reason to survive, others give into natural animal instincts and go wild. The main characters – Ralph, Jack, and Piggy – demonstrate the differences in human reactions to the crisis. Most of them hadn’t known each other before landing on the island, apart from the group of choir boys led by Jack. Before the text’s plot begins, we assume that the airplane passengers were being evacuated from Great Britain because of war (it’s not clear what war exactly). The characters in “Lord of the Flies” are boys in their teenage years. Both texts occupy a central place in the body of juvenile fiction literature heritage. The book itself bears many references to an earlier novel, “The Coral Island”, which was written by Robert Michael Ballantyne in 1857. Due to its worldwide popularity, the book was turned into a movie, twice – in 1963 in Britain by Peter Brooke & Lewis Allen, and in 1990 in the US by Harry Hook & Lewis Allen. This “book about kids on the island”, as it’s often referred to by its readers, was published in 1954. Despite their decent upbringings, without connection to civilization, the kids soon descend into savagery and primitivism. Throughout the whole text, they are trying to survive and bring order into their lives. The novel itself is about young boys stranded on an uninhabited piece of land after a plane accident. This book marks the debut of the author’s career, whose mastery of writing would later be distinguished by a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983.

“Lord of the Flies” is a famous novel written by William Golding.
