Lord of the Flies

This course offers a detailed examination of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, focusing on its plot, characters, and exploration of human nature. Students will study central figures such as Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon, and Roger, analysing their roles in the novel’s depiction of order, chaos, and moral decline. Key themes including evil, power, and the symbolism of the island are explored alongside Golding’s use of language, form, and structure. Through this study, learners will gain a deeper understanding of how Lord of the Flies presents a disturbing vision of civilisation’s fragility and humanity’s capacity for darkness.
