Lord of the Flies Chapter One Analysis

Symbolism A. Conch Civilization = order Power = Ralph the “chief” B. Glasses (Piggy’s) 1. Theme of blindness/sight 2. Characterization of Piggy

Theme A. Need for civilization B. Development of civilization Pg. 14 “We got to find the others. We got to do something” B. Development of civilization Use of conch (pg. 16) Assemblage of boys Election of leader C. Existence of Power 1. Over nature (pg 29,30) 2. Over boys (pg 18,19)

Theme Cont’d D. Existence of blindness/sight (throughout) E. Fear of unknown (pg 31)

Analysis of Characters Ralph Extreme attractiveness : what others say Narrator (pg 7,10) Piggy (pg 11) Youthful innocence What others say: “There was no devil” (Golding 10) What character says: “No grownups!” (Golding 8) What character does: Stands on his head Strips off his clothes

Analysis of Characters Piggy All descriptions include reference to size “The naked crooks of his knees were plump” (Golding 7) All actions indicate social intimidation/ gaucheness “He wiped his glasses and adjusted them on his button nose… He looked critically at Ralph’s golden body and then down at his own clothes.” (Golding 11)

Analysis of Characters Jack Ugly “his face was crumpled and freckled, and ugly without silliness” (Golding 20) Rude “’You’re talking too much,’ said Jack Merridew. ‘Shut up, Fatty.’” (Golding 21) Fearful “The pause was only long enough for them to understand what an enormity the downward stroke would be…Jacks face was white under the freckles…They knew very well why he hadn’t: because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh” (Golding 31)

Development of Conflict Means for survival Struggle for power: Ralph vs. Jack Juxtaposition- pgs. 18-19 Ralph controls little ‘uns, Jack controls chorus Treatment of Piggy By Ralph By Jack

Significance of Setting War (pg 8,14) causes boys’ situation Represents turmoil of outer world- no real sanctuary Deserted island No civilization / no order Boat shaped -ancient symbol of civilization Children become “essence” of man- no outside influences on their becoming evil

Use of Devices Grotesque imagery (pg 10,19,20,29) Creates beginnings of savagery Heat imagery (pg 7, 14,throughout)- symbol of Hell Furthers idea of savagery Introduces idea of evil within all men
