Lord of the Flies Questions Answered
Common questions about the novel and about making a study map of it.
What are the main themes in Lord of the Flies?
The main themes are the conflict between civilization and savagery, the nature of power and leadership, fear and its influence on behavior, and the question of whether evil lies within human nature. Golding explores these through the boys' gradual breakdown of order on the island.
What does the conch represent?
The conch represents order, democracy and civilized authority. Ralph uses it to call meetings and give each speaker the right to talk. As the boys fall into savagery, the conch loses its power and is finally destroyed.
