ENEMY: INNER AND OUTER — VIOLENCE AS A MEANS OF SOCIAL DIFFERENTIATION IN GOLDING’S LORD OF THE FLIES

Summary/Abstract: Describing an imaginary world of a desert island, remote in time and space and a group of young boys struggling to survive, Golding’s Lord of the Flies exposes and examines some of the greatest paradoxes of the Western world - a destructive patriarchal cultural matrix based on the principles of universals and binary opposition, based on violence and domination, yet precisely for these reasons percieved as civilized. By juxtaposing its strong anti-utopian tone and its Victorian genre matrix, Lord of the Flies presents its unique perspective of the prospects of modern age and progress. In this context violence is being generated as a consequence of the proscribed need for social differentiation, not as its cause, and thus functions a specific marker of social awareness of the power discourse, therefore, as a specific projection of social reality.
