According to the critic Joeseph Conrad, "The belieff in a supernatural source of evil is not nessassary;
men alone are quite capable of every wickedness". In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, this is found to be evident.
In this book, it shows that there is no supernatural forces on the island. Also, there is no evil beast or anything
close to it. There is only evil in the minds of some of the boys who were isolated on the island. After the boys
realised there are no adults on the island with them to tell them what to do, Some felt no need to act like
civilized humans, Jack as leader turned to savegry to have some fun as well as some of the boys who follwed.
However, all this fun lead them to do evil things. They saw it as oppurtunity to get away with what ever they
wanted to do, because there are no adults there to repremand them.
I agree with Joseph Conrad, man could have just as much evil as any supernatural being, although it would
seem in reality there are no supernatural beings or supernatural sources, only evil in the minds and hearts of
man. The auther of the book used alot of literary elemants to symbolize and foreshadow the evil that existed on
the island and in the minds of the boys, and a few examples could be read as followed.
William Golding used alot of literary techniques such as metaphores, foreshadowing, and symbolism threwout
the course of the book, he used it as a way for the readers to figure out what was going on, without directly
telling them, He used it as somewhat of a way to intise the readers to keep reading.
A good literary elemant that golden uses, is the technique of foreshadowing, a good example would be
the killing of the mother pig in chapeter 8.
When Jack and his followers killed the mother pig it shows there great lack of foresight, as by killing the mother
pig they were also losing all the other piglets who would've been a future source of food. The events with
Simon are also some of the most important in the book. Simon's conversation with the head of the mother pig
is basically the theme of the novel, and is partly his imagination, and partly some kind of "message" from the
unknown as it would seem, but its really his mind playing tricks on him. The Lord of the Flies basically
confirms to Simon that the Beast really is "inside" everyone, but says that everyone would rather have fun than
worry about anything else. The threat of being killed foreshadows the end of Simon's own life. Another example would be The imaginary beast that scares all the boys.
The kids are afraid of the beast, but only Simon reaches the realization that they fear of the beast exists within each of the kids.
Another example of goleden's techniques is symbolism he seems to use alot of it thruout the book, a good
example would be the symbolism of the fire that the boys start, there is also a bit of foreshadowing with it as
well, the boys started the fire to attract adults to it so they can be rescued, and the fire seems to devide
some of the boys apart later on in the book. Ralph wants the boys to be more organized and take shifts with keeping the fire going,
but some of the other boys just want to be lazy, play and hunt with Jack. Also Jack seems to be the source of some of the evil in the boys.
And yet another example of symbolism would be the war paint. It symbolized the rejection of society.
In a way, when they put on the war paint, they hid themselves of their true selves just to act and play, but it turnes
out to be so much more it revealed their inner selves which was savage. They didnt have rules; they didnt have
adults to keep them in line; they had boyish playful and brutal instict.
In conclusion , According to the critic Joeseph Conrad, "The belied in a supernatural saurce of evil is not nessassary;
men alone are quite capable of every wickedness"; found to be evidant in Lord of the flies by golding.
So judging by the above literary elements, and quotes, it would seem that Joseph is correct in his statmeant that evil exists
within some people, and not just a supernatural force. In this book, Jack would be the source of the evil things the boys did, they killed alot of inocent animals
and they eventually killed Piggy and Simon. This also shows how Golding used the characters to represent "the belif that men are quite capable
of every wickedness" (Joesph Conrad)
Skylar Hamilton is quoted saying "Golding himself has said the cause is nothing more than the inherent evil of
man; no matter how well-intentioned he is, and no matter how reasonable a government he erects, man will
never be able to permanently contain the beast within" ("What makes things break up like they do?" Alternative

Bernard F. ***** also agrees that the "societal breakdown is caused by the suppression of the Dionysian", or
"brute" side of man. Dick agrees with Golding that "evil is indigenous to the species"
