https://padlet.com/ijwielgus/o35hjpcw942t 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 15:46:42 UTC 2019-03-18 01:00:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png ijwielgus https://padlet.com/ijwielgus/o35hjpcw942t/wish/341816138 1) Perhaps one of the most obvious ones, but I think that Jack represents Satan. He ropes all the boys into doing things that they might not think to do on their own- similar to the way that Satan coerced Eve into eating the apple. "He began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling . He capered toward Bill, and the mask was a thing on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness." (Goulding) This shows how savage he'd become and farther away from humanity he'd strayed.

2) Simon could represent Eve, since he seems to immediately believe everything that the Lord of the Flies is saying. He believes it when it says this: "This is ridiculous. You know perfectly well you'll only meet me down there- so don't try to escape!" (Goulding 143)

3) The littluns could represent the people that look up to Jesus and do whatever he says. "...Rushed out howling, so that the littluns fled screaming." (Goulding 140) They're very young and vulnerable so naturally they want to find someone or something to hang on to, like the big kids.

EXAMPLE: The parachuter could represent Lucifer, the archangel who was cast out of heaven for his war with God when "the great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him" (Revelation 12:9). The parachuter fell down to the island right after Ralph asked for a sign from grownups, and the island turned to darkness the moment the corpse appeared.

(Goulding 140) This is similar to the way Satan came to Adam and Eve and tricked them into something they weren't supposed to do.

2) After Simon eats a rotten apple, he "moved his swollen tongue but said nothing." (Goulding 143) Just like how in the Bible Eve eats the apple.

3) "The littluns stopped singing and dancing and drifted away toward the sea or the fruit trees or the shelters." (Goulding 130) This is possibly saying that the island is like the "Garden of Eden."]]> 2019-03-15 15:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ijwielgus/o35hjpcw942t/wish/341816140 ijwielgus https://padlet.com/ijwielgus/o35hjpcw942t/wish/341816144 1) An obvious choice is the pig head that Simon "talks" to in the novel, as Beelzebub is often represented by a fly. "Simon's mouth labored, brought fourth audible words. "Pig's head on a stick." (Goulding 143)

2) "Piggy stood above them on the platform, still holding the conch." (Goulding 141) The conch could possibly represent Beelzebub in the way that it controls all the boys.

3) Again, the conch could represt Beelzebub. "Piggy placed it in Ralph's hand and the littluns, seeing the familiar symbol started to come back." (Goulding 141) Referring to the conch.
