Why Boys Become Savage Analysis

I had discovered what one man could do to another... I must say that anyone who moved through those years without understanding that man produces evil as a bee produces honey must have been blind or wrong in the head.”- William Golding. This quote expands upon Golding’s views on mankind being predisposed to evil. Golding perpetuates the perception that all of mankind, even the most innocent “produce evil as a bee produces honey”.

Savagery versus Humanity Is human nature savage? The novel “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding expresses the general theme and conflict of savagery vs. humanity. Throughout the novel, the characters display and represent the conflict between being savage and keeping their humanity. Golding shows how society can change and influence a person's actions and their ability to be savage. Based upon the boys actions in the novel such as, killing one another, sexual assault and abuse, and their animalistic behaviors, shows that savagery exists within all human beings.

Since humans are born savages everyone has an evil lying within, therefore when something happens that triggers that evil the human will resort to their natural sense of savagery because that is their nature and because civilization is just a concept that keeps us from showing our true selves. From the moment a human is born, they are told how to talk, how to walk and how to act. The society humans live in constrict a human’s natural sense of savagery; however strip that away and put a human in a situation where the rules of civilization are absent then there will be nothing but pure chaos. In Lord of the Flies, the kids try very hard to stay civilized, however, it proved to be too difficult as their inner evil started to take over. The island was slowly becoming more and more chaotic because the rules of civilization didn’t exist on this island, therefore, it was all about “survival of the fittest”.

It is my belief that society is the true ‘monster’ in the novel, and that it is through our experiences and interactions with society that shapes us into the person that we become. Because of the creatures experiences with abandonment, abuse, rejection, and lack of nurture, the creature turns from an innocent soul into a murderous monster. Society plays a huge role in the destruction of both the creature and Victor. When Victor first leaves for ignostalt he believes that “he will be unfit for the company of man.”

He didn 't understand why people weren 't nice to him even though he was nice to them. The creature was mad and angry at Victor and decided to take his anger out on his family and killed every single one of them. Victor says “ He showed unparalleled malignity and selfishness, in evil: he destroyed my friends; he devoted to destruction beings who possessed exquisite sensations, happiness, and wisdom; nor do I know where this thirst for vengeance may end. ”Victor was furious and wanted to destroy the creature once and for all. They both did very awful things to each other.

Was I then a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled, and whom all men disowned” (138). Through the knowledge he acquired from spying in on the Felix family, he gained the understanding that his grotesque look doomed him to be marginalized within human society; therefore, his understanding of human history destined himself to be a monster. Although, this self-realization of a monster identity plays a huge role in the general plot and character development of Frankenstein’s Monster, it hints at a subtler interpretation of the nature of knowledge.

Man has been known to be the cruellest animal on our planet and since we are at the top of the food chain we can do anything we want to our planet and also other people. Our kind is so cruel that we destroy our world for the need of resources and we can even be cruel to each other. Humans throughout history have always been at war with each other over land, greed, culture and revenge. Revenge and greed are both prominent in the short stories Stone Mattress and The Cask of Amontillado. Both of these short stories have great examples of greed and revenge in them and that they are similar but both are set differently.

There is no escaping that rape is unimaginably evil, the most degrading and horrible thing a person can do and more so to their own child. However, it is hard to accept that some people are simply born evil. The more likely reason is that people are a mirror image of the society they live in. The experiences they have accumulated along the way, and the people who raised them. In this essay I will argue that Cholly is no exception.

Evil is profoundly immoral actions, evil is being malevolent. Everyone does evil things like hit someone, or call them names, it’s something people do before they understand it's wrong. Even after people learn that it’s wrong they still use it throughout their lives, but why? Evil and fear is created by people who strive for power and the need to feel wanted. In William Golding’s “The Lord of the Flies” the creation of evil and fear is demonstrated through different symbols.

The Evil Within Humanity Thomas Hobbes remarks that“The condition of man... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone”. Humans are not born flawless, they are born with an evil within them. The choices and actions they make are a representation of their inner selves. The evil within humans cause them to revolt against those of their kind. Similarly, in the novel, Lord of the Flies, a group of school boys have crashed onto a deserted island and must make means work.

As people that become killers and sociopaths ,psychopaths and all other disorders that come along with them as they are made of what scientist like to call nature vs nurture which is events like genes, environment and personal choices have to say what that person becomes but If you have a child no matter what genes they have and you treat them with kindness and care they will become higher in society but if you hurt a child and tell them they are useless they will become hateful and hate everything and everyone in their life. One of America 's most famous killers Ted Bundy had a weird life from his environment. When he was born his grandparents said that his mother was his sister and his grandparents were his parents in order to hide the grandparents and mother 's secret. He was born out of a hospital so if he ever found out it probably traumatized him and then becomes a spree murderer even though there was no confession of abuse from parent and or grandparents there must have been things of that nature in the house that tripped his mind maybe that was enough to trip his mind and start

Grendel was always sinning by murdering every night. In lines 1-2 it backs up my stating of Grendel being evil it says “A powerful monster, living down in the darkness, impatient.” Grendel was smart in many ways. One way Grendel was smart was because he knew when to strike. Grendel killed many of people undetected.

Human beings are naturally evil, throughout our lives we learn or pick up the non-civil actions through other people, books, movies, or tv shows. In “why boys become vicious”, by William Golding, he wrote about a time when he was stationed in “Russia after the first world war” when he saw “gangs of children who had their parents” abandon them or were killed during the war roam the countryside “attacking and killing” others either out of boredom or pure cruelty.

All I can see is humans which makes me start to speculate,

What would you do if you saw a family member get beaten down by a cop for no reason? In this essay I will be talking about police brutality. It will be about the ways police brutality affects the world, how it starts, and how to stop it. Police brutality hurts the world because it is cruel things that happen to people and there is no one to stop it. Police brutality hurts families around the world because their siblings are either hurt or killed for no reason.
