Humans are inherently evil by nature, and without law, they will unknowingly allow this vile side of themselves to be revealed. The depravity of actions in humans is expressed in William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies by a group of English boys stranded on an island and disconnected from society. The fear of violation of the laws that require people to uphold their morality and rationality in their society disappears, and a growth of savagery is present in all the boys. Savagery, an innate element of humanity, can only be repressed by the laws of society; the lack of regulation removes all inhibition and therefore exposes the beast representing evil from within. Law embodies the order caused by fear, and the qualities of cruelty and evil in humans cannot be harnessed without it, as evidenced by the boys who fall into a state of savagery due to the lack of adequate legislation. As their savagery grows, so does the intensity of the beast within them, representative of disorder and evil. The constraints of civilization in society impose law and order among all, keeping negative aspects of human nature such as violence and the desire for power to a minimum. Ralph tries to make laws at their first meeting and excitedly tells everyone that they'll "have rules, then when someone breaks them — Whee oh!" Wacco! » (Golding 33). This is the boys' first attempt to create structure on the island by establishing rules, as it makes them fear the consequences of breaking them. The use of exclamation points and very aggressive language speaks to the seriousness of the need to create structure on the island. He uses short dialogues to describe the severity of punishments that will occur if the rules are broken, while including middle of paper ...... inside in order to assimilate to others. The savagery displayed through the boys exposes the evil nature of the beast, which clouds their judgment and impacts the choices they make. The characteristics of evil, which are representative of the beast, can only be controlled by fear of the laws that society mandates. The lack of law enforcement allows and therefore encourages the presence of barbarism, which the boys call the beast. This beast, depicted in the boys, is a form of savagery that they display throughout the novel, and through the exposure of their savagery, their true evil nature is revealed. These dark and wild impulses of human nature, present in everyone, are commonly found in modern society. Only through the existence of regulations can this beast be controlled by the fear of people living in society themselves..
