在《蝇王》中,威廉·戈尔丁的用他特有的冷静与思维挖掘着人类千百年来从未停止过的互相残杀的根源,是一部很好地揭示人性恶的现代版寓言。通过故事的描述及人物心理的深层挖掘从而展示了人类的理性与非理性、人性与兽性、原善与原恶、文明与野蛮等一系列矛盾冲突,并且故事中各种矛盾的冲突的结果令人信服。它充分提示了文明、理性的脆弱性和追求民主法治秩序的难度,进一步向人们说明了人类走向专制社会易,奔向民主社会难的道理,这正是《蝇王》的思考之所在。 In Lord of the Flies, William Golding’s excavation of the root causes of humankind’s never-ending killings by his unique calmness and thought is a modern version of the allegory that reveals the evil of humanity well . Through the description of the story and the deep excavation of the characters’ psychology, a series of contradictions and conflicts such as human reason and irrationality, human nature and animality, original good and evil, civilizedness and barbarism are demonstrated, and the result of various contradictions and conflicts in the story People convinced. It fully shows civilization, the fragility of reason and the difficulty of pursuing a democratic and orderly rule of law, and further explains to people the reason that mankind is going to an autocratic society and toward a democratic society. That is exactly where “Lord of the Flies” think.
