Lord of the Flies: The Symbol of Order
Summary: The conch in William Golding's novel The Lord of the Flies at first symbolizes the order and democracy practiced by the boys on the island. However, the conch's power to maintain order eventually disintegrates, and the boys turn into savages as their need for civilization becomes increasingly visible. Golding uses the conch as a symbol to demonstate the theme that civilization is necessary to keep the dark side of human nature within and in control.
