This collection of articles explores the various identities and roles that emerge in William Golding’s classic novel “Lord of the Flies”. From the boys’ initial attempts at establishing a civilized society to their eventual descent into savagery, these articles delve into the complex dynamics of power, hierarchy, and group identity that shape their behavior. Topics include the role of leadership and followership, the influence of age and gender on social status, and the ways in which the boys’ experiences on the island shape their individual identities. Ultimately, this collection offers a nuanced examination of how identity is both constructed and contested within a group setting, as well as its broader implications for understanding human behavior in times of crisis.
