Summary/Abstract: "The category of the anonymous plays a very important role in the works of W. Golding. Though being quite contradictory in his philosophic views he is very persistently proving one point, which is recurrent in all of his works starting from the very first novel. That is the role of the intuitive, irrational as opposed to rational thinking. Therefore the category of the anonymous becomes a very important factor in his world outlook."
