A quote:
"This has gone quite far enough. My poor, misguided child, do you think you know better than I do?"
Now, Lord of the Flies is all about the breakdown of order and man's basic, animalistic, brutal nature (You may disagree with Mr. Golding as you please. I do). Yet, somehow, order is portrayed as almost evil here. So perhaps Mr. Golding was trying to say that order is a bad thing and anarchy/survival of the fittest is the best (or at least better) way?
I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant. It could be, but I'm pretty sure it's not. Anyone up for philosophical discussion?
(I feel a real need to read Ayn Rand's Anthem or Machiavelli's Prince now. Possibly reread Stranger in a Strange Land.)
A blog about me, RavenScholar, what I decide to tell you about what I'm doing, why I'm here, and what ever else I want to say.
About Me
- RavenScholar
- This is where I talk about my ideas, my views, my interests. Most of these will be about feminism, comics, and original ideas. Free thinking is good. I may not agree with you, and disagree strongly, but I will never tell you that your veiw is worthless. Outdated, wrong in my view, offensive, but never worthless.
