Inherent Evil: Lord of the Flies

Many say tender kind is inherently malevolent, that there is shame in exclusively of us. William Golding potently confirms this caput in his novel The Lord of the Flies. The Lord of the Flies expresses what provide happen to man when there is not structure and little have a bun in the oven in mind of survival. The boys prove man to be inherently evil through control, blackguardment, and murder. The boys in the Lord of the Flies illustrate that human kind is inherently evil through excessive control. Firstly, poop starts to control his choir to become more savage. Jack says to Ralph, Ill split up the choir-my retraceers that it, (Golding 42).Here Jack tries to put one over his choir seem to be more savage, calling them hunters. Secondly, Jack again exercises the need for control by going against the rules. Jack speaks out, Bollocks to the rules Were strong- we huntwell close in and measuring rod and beat and beat, (99). Jack breaks the rules wanting to have his own control. Thirdly, by brutally beating Wilfred, Jack demonstrates excessive control. Ralph told, Hes going to beat Wilfred. he didnt say what for. He got angry and made us tie him up, (176). This newfangled 2 uotes shows how Jack has taken control making the boys tie up and help beat Wilfred. The excessive control used by the boys in the novel supports the imagination that man is inherently evil, although it is also shown through another(prenominal) ways much(prenominal) as how the boys treat from each one other. The novel proves the point man is evil through the mistreatment the boys have for each other. To start, mistreatment is shown through the disrespect the boys have for each other. Jack tell Piggy, Shut up, Fatty, (17). Jack is insulting Piggy as many of the boys insult and hurt each other, mistreating others.Next, Samneric show evidence of mistreatment by betraying Ralph. Samneric tell Ralph of Jacks plan for him. However, later they betray Ralph by telling Jack where h e is hiding (207). In this section Samneric mistreat Ralph when they betray him this way. Last, Jack performs mistreatment when he steals Piggys glasses. Ralph confronts Jack, You came sneaking up like a thief and stole Piggys glasses, (196). plain though the boys in The Lord of the Flies mistreat each other proving man is inherently evil, killing plays a major part as well.Golding confirms that man is inherently evil by the murders displayed by the boys. The first point is the intentional murder of Piggy. Golding describes the murder, The rock struck Piggy a glancing neutralise from chin to knee (200). This vicious murder of Piggy strongly suggests evil. In addition, is the unintentional, but denied murder of Simon. Ralph is honest with Piggy, That was Simon. That was murder,(172). In this quote Ralph explains to Piggy that they all killed Simon and that it was murder. Finally, there is the in-humane killing of the pig which the boys participated in.The author describes it, The first blow had paralyse its hind quarters so then the circle could close Young 3 in and beat and beat,(79). The savage killing of the pig shows the boys rent lust for murder. Murder strongly demonstrates that human kind is in fact inherently evil. In The Lord of the Flies the author affirms man is inherently evil through the boys control, mistreatment, and murders. Deep down without rules and society and the instinct to stick out savagery evil may take over. Everyone has the capacity to be evil. Golding has strongly supported and proves this to be corrects in the novel.
