Theme

The theme of the book can be said to be the struggle of the two opposing forces of both civilization and savage ruling. The two main characters, Ralph and Jack, demonstrate this theme by the way they rule the younger boys on two different guidelines. This soon results to the separation of the two groups, civilized and savage. The novel certainly sets the right theme on it’s readers by enforcing how the importance of order is necessary to have a working society. Without proper ruling, the novel soon comes to show us how a society can disintegrate when people don’t agree to follow rules.
