Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, a group of boys crash landed on a deserted island with no adults. They must face conflicts with each other, the island, and themselves to survive. In chapter 9, Jack and his tribe had a feast, and invited all the other boys. During the feast, a storm rolled in, and they became animalistic while eating, chanting, and dancing around the fire. Meanwhile, Simon was on the mountain discovering that the beast wasn’t real.
Once the fire is made Jack says that he’ll “split up the choir--my hunters, that is--into groups, and we 'll be responsible for keeping the fire going” (Golding 44). Even after saying this Jack, knowingly, let the fire out in order to go hunting. Here can be seen an example of loss of civilization from Jack himself. Jack is so into hunting that he even chants inhumanely “Kill the pig. Cut her throat.

Chapter 9 concluded with having Simon go out to find the beast and discovers there is none; on his way back everybody is dancing in the rain and eating meat, but when they see this figure coming down, they think it’s the beast so they end up killing the it, which was actually Simon.Therefore, the events above connect to the theme due to the cause of fear that got inside of them once they saw a dark figure and turned them into bloodthirsty savages.In Lord of the Flies, William Golding employs figurative language, diction, and juxtaposition to convey the theme of fear. Golding states examples how figurative language is used in the book Lord of the Flies.Golding uses many different examples such as “The beast was harmless and horrible” (Golding 147), based on the quote it represents irony because even though everyone thought there was a beast it turns out there never really was a beast and fear got to them.Another quote Golding uses is“The tide...touched the first of the stains that seeped from the broken body...” (154), based on the quote, it represents personification because it describes how the ocean touches Simon 's dead body that was floating away.Golding’s quotes give the effect of suspense because you don’t know what 's going
