Lord of the flies

Lord of the Flies is a 1954 dystopian novel by Nobel Prize-winning English author William Golding about a group of British boys stuck on anuninhabited island who try to govern themselves with disastrous results. Its stances on the already controversial subjects of human natureand individual welfare versus the common good earned it position 68 on the American Library Association’s list of the 100 most frequentlychallenged books of 1990–1999.[2] The novel is a reaction to the youth novel The Coral Island by R. M. Ballantyne.

 《蒼蠅王》出版時麥卡錫主義盛行,冷戰逐漸升級的年代。小說所敘述的故事發生在某一虛幻的核戰爭中。書中一些角色是孤立無援的普通學生,另一些則來自聲樂隊,並且有領隊。絕大多數(除了聲樂隊以外)的男孩彼此從來沒有見過。小說將男孩們從樂園般的國家拋出,讓他們遠離現代文明社會,描述了這些受過良好教育的孩子們是如何墮落成為原始野蠻人這一過程。

 從喻意角度來說,小說主題是人類衝動與文明之間的矛盾 —— 在規矩下和平和諧地生活 —— 到對權勢的貪慾。主題也包括了集體思維與個體權益矛盾、理性與感性的矛盾、道德與無道德矛盾。這些矛盾的演繹,以及人們是如何被它們影響,成為《蒼蠅王》主要的潛台詞。

These two movies are about rules & orders, and how young children become more and more brave to take the responsibility to be an adult.
