The Lord of the flies took place post World War ll and the Cold War clash between the east and west. It shows the kids who wanted optimism and hope after their place was shot down during the war. Now they are brutalizing each other and are thought wicked ways based on what they saw in war. So it is very gory just like how it was in the war. Matthew Witlarge

The aftermath of the Second World War could possibly be influencing the story. The author witnessing the war could have changed his opinion on people’s humanities, which could influence characters or actions. The War also caused a crash in the economy, having limited supplies such as food, water, clothes, etc. This could be shown in the story when the kids are stranded on the island with only the clothes on their backs. Also how during the war many children lost their parents when they were sent off to fight. This can be shown when the children were stranded without any adults to guide/raise them.  - Ashley

Due to World War II ending in 1941, the post cleanup of the mess left behind both physically and mentally helped shape the text of Lord of the Flies. Events such as the battle of Dunkirk show the mentality of people and soldiers when faced with life and death. The spiral of events in the war showed the broken mental state that soldiers were in. From shuffling in the mud through dead bodies and abundant land mines to escaping in boats, the soldiers’ survival instincts kicked in. The thoughts and actions of the soldiers are portrayed in the book through the kids trying to survive on the island. -Mark Calacal

Golding's expierence take from World War II played influence into the story. During Word War II he saw humanity and the evils that spiral due to the events that took place. This is shown in Lord of the Flies when the boys crash on an island and are faced with an adult situation. They all play foils to eachother when some choose to goof off and enjoy their freedom while others step up and try to be responsible.
