Lord of the Flies
“Lord of the Flies” by William Golding is a haunting tale that delves into the dark corners of human nature. When a group of British boys find themselves stranded on a deserted island, their attempts to govern themselves quickly descend into chaos and savagery. I remember the chills I felt as the veneer of civilization peeled away, revealing primal instincts. Golding’s masterful storytelling left me contemplating the thin line between order and anarchy.
