Human Nature’s Deterioration in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies A Psychological Study

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 03

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The study investigates the human nature degradation in “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding. When society constraints and parental supervision are removed, these fortunate situations become accessible. Golding attributes man's bad character to the Original Sin, which occurred when Adam disobeyed God's instruction in the Garden of Eden. When the boys believe they are no longer under parental authority and the instructors are unchecked, they begin to break the regulations of the island, even murdering one other, and a return to savagery occurs. The study examines different methods of deconstructing dichotomies to re-imagine the connection between humans and the environment. Of course, the underlying antithesis is between civilization and nature. The topic of human nature's degeneration was the most well-known aspect of the novel, as a result, the depiction of the external environment was often disregarded. It is the purpose of this article to examine the worsening connection between man and the atmosphere from the viewpoint of psychologists to show the eventual demise of humanity in the book. As a critical endeavor, psychological analysis requires a rethinking of the link between man and external environmental factors which affect his life. It is the study of how humans and the physical world interact.
