William Golding sets his novel Lord of
the Flies at a time when Europe is in the midst of nuclear destruction. A
group of boys, being evacuated from England to Australia, crash lands on a tropical
island. No adults survive the crash, and the novel is the story of the boys' descent
into chaos, disorder, and
evil.

Now, the boys are
finding ways to survive. They eat the fruit of the trees. Also, Ralph, the chief,
assigns Jack and his choir members the role of hunter. The hunters are afraid, at first,
of hunting. Then they begin to grow more savage as the story unfolds. Jack and his
hunters begin to torture pigs unmercifully. They begin to enjoy the blood, screams of
agony and the "colored guts."

Jack begins to rub the blood on his hands onto
Maurice, and then they notice Roger withdraw his spear. They become hysterical because
he had pinned the sow by driving the spear through its anus. They reenact the slaughter
until they grow
tired.

Through cruelty and
savagery, Simon is killed by the boys. At first, they thought he was the beast coming
out of the woods. They literally murder him with their bare hands and teeth. They are
caught up in a hunting-dance frenzy right before they kill
him.

Piggy dies because Roger pushes a rock down on him.
Piggy falls to his death on the rocks below.

The entire
story is divided between Ralph and his boys and Jack and his boys. Ralph builds shelters
and he tries to keep a fire going so a signal can alert a ship passing by. Jack gets so
caught up in the hunt until he allows the fire to go out at the moment a ship is passing
by:

Simon
calls Ralph’s name because there is no signal fire. Ralph bolts for the mountain. The
others desperately follow. They reach the fire, which had gone out. The choir members
who tend it are nowhere in sight. “A pile of unused fuel lay ready.” Ralph is
livid.

Throughout the story,
the two groups disagree. Ralph as chief tries to keep the fire going, but he cannot do
it alone. Jack and his hunters have separated themselves from Ralph's
crew;

True
anarchy has arrived on the island. Jack has effectively split the group into two
factions, fire makers and fire takers. The fire makers exist on fruit and follow
responsibility. The fire takers hunt meat and have fun. Jack is their
leader.

Jack and his savage
hunters kill a pig and put its head on a stick. This becomes Lord of the Flies. The
beast has actually shown itself through Jack:

The beast has finally made its appearance, and
it is represented by the pig’s head. It is the Lord of the Flies, in common terms,
Beelzebub, or anarchy. The violent rift within the two factions is aptly represented by
the pig’s head, a grotesque monument to the boys’ increasing
savagery.

In the end, Ralph
is the only one left in his faction. Jack and his hunters are chasing him to kill him.
He is fleeing for his life. He runs into the naval officer and is rescued. He breaks
down and cries for the deaths of Simon and Piggy.
