Category: Samneric

In this category, we focus on the characters Sam and Eric, collectively called Samneric, in William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies”. We explore their loyalty to each other, their role in the boys’ struggle for power, and their significance in the novel’s themes of friendship, loyalty, and the impact of group dynamics on the individual. Through our analysis, we examine the symbolism of Samneric and their representation of the human tendency to conform and follow the crowd. Join us as we discuss the importance of Samneric in the novel and their relationship with the other characters, particularly Ralph, Jack, and Piggy. Whether you’re a fan of the book or a newcomer, our insights and discussion will provide a deeper understanding of these often-overlooked characters.
