The novel The Lord of the Flies is written by William Golding. Golding is recognized as an author who developed a great new idea expressed in this novel. The unique idea he used in this novel was using his own distinctive way to get across the symbols introduced in Lord of the Flies. The use of symbols plays the biggest role in showing how each symbol resembles someone or something and how these symbols are closely affected and tied to other symbols.

    One of the most symbolic uses of symbolism in this novel is the Beast. This Beast finds himself the fear of every character's eyes.

Golding describes the Beast as something that would grow stronger in every individual if they were left alone...
