 Critical Essay by Jean E. Kennard
3,794 words, approx. 13 pages
It is untrue that Golding's novels leave us without answers, as [some critics] suggest. Golding admits that he cannot subscribe to any particular religion, but insists that he is a fundamentally religious man…. [His] faith in a pattern that transcends man is not the only difference between Golding's position and that defined in the early work of Sartre and Camus, but it is the basic one…. [It] is this belief which underlies all other aspects of his philosophy and determines the t... summary from source:

Superficially, the hero of the novel is a success, a boy... summary from source:

Yet, however, heterodox his fictional topogra...
