Lord Of The Flies - The Beast
.... definite physical appearance to the beast because it was assumed to be the over-active imagination of little children at work. At the same time it is obvious that Golding uses the early chapters in the book to set the scene for the chaos and terror of the beast that follows. Soon it became evident that even the older boys had begun to wonder whether in fact some kind of beast did inhabit the island. It was also apparent that nobody was willing to admit this, but the fact that many boys now cried out in t .....

.... having her father be there for her, she figures that by keeping his body he can still be part of her life.
The Jungian archetype of this feminist struggle can be noted as: Emily is not able to live a normal life because her father keeps under his thumb. In relation to keeping her father’s body, she keeps Homer Barron’s body so long because she feels that she has finally accomplished something in her life. Emily is not ready to give up that feeling. The feminist struggle is hard to detect but it is .....

Figurative language is employed by Golding throughout the novel to develop plot and characters. In this passage, the most vivid figurative language is in the final paragraph. The author uses similes to compare the action between the children and the action in the clouds. The brewing storm foreshadows the dark and evil forces that will be at work within the boys.
