The book tells about what happens when children live alone away from all civilisations and rolls. They will all on some point become vicious. It is very important for children to have adults around them to make rolls, give them love, acknowledgement and safety. If they don’t get those things, the children will automatically become vicious and forget what right behaviour is and turn into some evil devils who get out of control!
The message is also that every child is born evil and the evil can come up in every child any time.
This is distinctive in chapter eleven, where Piggy wishes Jack death. Piggy has through the “Lord of the Flies” been a very calm and sensible boy, but when Jack took Piggy’s glasses, Piggy got upset and had no respect left to him anymore.
In the beginning of the book the boys live in the common hope of being rescue and come home. That is their prerequisite for their community. The boys choose Ralph to be the leader and the boys organize themselves in a Democratic community with their common hope and rolls. Ralph wish deeply that they will be rescue and underline the important of keeping the fire going. He hoped that a ship would see the smoke from the fire.
