Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to be an analysis of William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies”. His novels are interpreted in the light of theology, modern psychology, politics and sociology. Golding creates a universe in which ideas are more vital than the action. His knowledge about human nature is mirrored in his fiction which is full of Christian symbolism. A Golding novel has a double meaning. The deeper meaning lays in the depth of the words, both simple and complex.
