Lord Of The Flies Opinion Essay, Research Paper

Lord Of The Flies was a very pessimistic

book because many people died and also that all of the kids humanity is

now lost.

An example showing why Lord Of The Flies

is pessimistic is the fact that World War 3 is happening and all of the

kids are stranded from their parents instead of being optimistic and being

dropped off at another safer country far away from the war. Instead of

letting the kids reach their destinations he has them shot down in what

seems to be a wonderful place slowly turning into hell.

The three deaths also show the evilness.

One child burning to death in a wild fire , Simon being beaten to death

by his fellow friends and Piggy who was crushed by a rock. Through out

all of these killings most of the kids knew this was wrong but no one to

stop them and discipline them . They all eventually lost their sense of

life.

The only part of the novel where you feel

that the kids fate may have made a turn for the better is the ending finally

rescue. Or is it rescue? They might possibly be shot and killed on their

way home , they might just be thrown into the mixi of a war , most of them

will probably have to go through psychiatric treatment and will they have

anyone to go home to? Who knows what will be left of their families and

homes.

With all these grizzly details Golding

must have had a pessimistic view to wars and he definitely showed that

kids are not just little angels but have a much darker side.
