https://padlet.com/kguogis/hoawrlbovvev How does Golding's novel function as an allegory? Use at least THREE to FIVE pieces of evidence from each text. Include citations for each quote. LOTF: (Golding 23) Bible: (Genesis 2:14) en-us 2019-03-15 15:43:40 UTC 2019-03-18 02:37:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png kguogis https://padlet.com/kguogis/hoawrlbovvev/wish/341815486 1) I think Jack is one of the characters that represents Beelzebub.  One of the examples of Jack acting in a satanic way is when the boys killed the huge pig. As the Jack kills the pig, he exclaims happily
 "Look."
"He giggled and flicked them..." (Golding,135). As Jack flicks the boys with the blood of the dead pig, they giggle and happily celebrate the death of a living thing.

2) Another example of Beelzebub is the Lord Of The Flies. he is aware that all the boys are afraid of him and he controls what they do. When he finds Simon alone, he threatens him 
"I'm warning you. I'm going to get angry. D'you see? You're not wanted. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island. Understand? We are going to have gun on this island! So don't try it on, my poor misguided boy, or else--"
"--Or else, we shall do you? See?" (Golding,144). In this moment LOTF is scaring Simon and commanding him, and he takes joy in knowing that the boys are scared of him and he can control everything they do.

3) I think Ralph could be seen as Beelzebub in some cases also. When Ralph is faced with a chance to kill a pig, he does it without a second thought. He hits the pig with the spear and it sticks in its nose : 
"I hit him all right. The spear stuck in. I wounded him!"
"He sunned himself in their new respect and felt that hunting was pretty good overall." (Golding,113).
This moment in the book shows how although Ralph doesn't find hunting necessary, when he stabs a pig he is boastful and happy. This shows how he opposes hunting yet he enjoys the feeling of hurting a living thing and wants to make sure everyone knows.

"Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man." (Genesis 2:22), originally, Ralph is the only leader, but as time goes on, Jack separates from the group and becomes his own leader with his own group. I think this shows how the island started with one group with a single leader the same way the Garden started with just Adam, but as time went on, Eve split apart from Adam and became a separate entity the same way Jack split apart from Ralph and became his own "entity".

2)  I think that the mountain which the beast sleeps on represents the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The mountain which the beast sleeps on taunts the boys and they eventually climb it to find out whether the beast is real.
"The man said,"
 “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” (Genesis 3:12)
I feel like this shows how the curiosity of the tree gets Adam and Eve in trouble because they are not allowed to eat from it, and they do. This is similar to how the boys know that they should not go up the mountain in case the beast is there, but they do it anyway and have to run to avoid getting killed by the beast. Also, this shows how Ralph is Adam and Ralph only goes up the mountain because Jack is mocking him, while Jack is like Eve because Eve gives Adam the fruit to eat and without her he would've most likely not eaten it the same way Ralph would've most likely not went up the mountain.

3) I feel like Eve could represent Simon and the Serpent represents the Beast.
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.(Genesis,3:4) “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”(Genesis,3:5)
In Genesis 3 the Serpent is very smart and tricks Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree, something they know they aren't allowed to do. This is the similar to the way that the Beast controls Simon and makes him do things he doesn't want to do. Both the Beast and Serpent are smart and trick the characters, while Eve is too oblivious and Simon is too scared to do anything.

Simon's conversation with the Lord Of the Flies could be compared Jesus's meeting with Satan during his 40 Night Fasting. When Jesus is talking to Satan, Satan tried to tempt Jesus and trick him into making bread from stones or jump off a mountain and worship him.
"Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory." (Matthew,4:8)
"And he said to Him,"
 “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”(Matthew,4:9). This can be compared to Simon's conversation with the Lord Of The Flies. The main difference between these 2 stories is that Jesus holds his ground and is not intimidated by Satan, while Simon is scared and folds easily: 
"I'm warning you. I'm going to get angry."
"Simon was inside the mouth. He fell down and lost consciousness." (Golding,144)

2) When Ralph finds himself alone, he gets naked after realizing there are no adults.
"He undid the snake-clasp of his belt, lugged off his shorts and pants, and stood there naked," (Golding, 10)
This could be compared to the innocence of Adam and Eve. They as well as Ralph, are naked and do not feel embarrassment or guilt, they feel innocence and freedom. 

3) In the old Testament, pork is dirty and forbidden. This could be compared to Jack becoming dirtier and more ruthless when his need to kill a pig progresses. "Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you."
(Leviticus 11:8)
When Jack does not need to kill a pig, he is cleaner, more innocent, and less angry. As he wants to kill pigs and eat them more and more, he becomes more ruthless and starts enjoying killing. It becomes so bad that all he thinks about is killing pig and leaves Ralph in order to focus himself and his hunters on mainly hunting pigs.]]> 2019-03-15 15:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kguogis/hoawrlbovvev/wish/341815719
