Question

Fear is one of the most powerful emotions that control the way a human being acts in certain circumstances. It contributes to one’s instability and, ultimately, to irrationality.

William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” is all about fear and its irrational consequences. It sheds light on that kind of fear that may not be of something physical at all. It is the irrational fear of fear itself, the big horrid “Beast of Fear” with claws, eyes, and teeth lurking inside us. It is the fear we prefer to ignore. In “Lord of the Flies,” it is the fear which leads to irrational acts.

In “Lord of the Flies,” the boys fear almost everything they see and hear on the island, assuming them to be beasts. As the novel progresses, their fear of the unknown beast becomes exceedingly powerful their attitudes towards it become increasingly irrational. Terror paralyzes their minds, leaving them too weak to face the truth about their fears.

The beast in the novel symbolizes fear flying around on the island. Fear is evident in all the boys, from the nightmares to the belief in the existence of a beast. From the moment the first littlun claims to have seen snake-monster in Chapter 2, even the hunters begin having nightmares of their own. In Chapter 5, Jack, addressing Ralph, says, “You said they dream and cry out. Now they talk not only the littluns, but also my hunters sometimes talk of a thing, a dark thing, a beast, some sort of animal.” (p. 83). Indeed, the boys’ fear of the beast becomes an increasingly important aspect of their lives. The fact that all the boys on the island are younger than thirteen greatly affects the amount of fear that control them. Their cries can only reverberate within the walls of their own nightmares.

Further, a little boy named Phil dreams of weird animals, saying, “And I was frightened…and then I saw something moving among the trees, something big and horrid.” (p. 85) His mind is so obsessed with “beasties” it simply refuses to accept the reality that it is Simon he see in the dark. As a matter of fact, imagination and fear shape their illusory description of the beast which the twins, Samneric, describe, “There were eyes, teeth, claws. The beast followed us, nearly touched me.” (p. 100) [Question: Is this the way you intended to write this part? Your original posting made them appear like sub-topics.] But beast, it was not; it was a dead parachutist.

Fear of the beast totally conquers their minds, making their brains too crippled to think straight. Their imaginations are so powerful, so overpowering and wild that they fail to see the fear for what it is: the beast that impels them to crime.

Fear so control them to the point of believing and doing anything, even trying to regain peace and freedom from fear itself by killing the beast. Thus, when Simon comes stumbling out of the dark forest while the boys are doing a victory dance, everyone surrounds him, chanting, "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!" (p. 152) Believing him to be the beast, they poke savagely at him with their spears until the “Beast” is dead. The beast is dead, indeed, and fear has just taken an innocent life.

However, not all the boys are too affected by fear. Ralph and Piggy struggle to be logical.

When the topic of fear is brought up during one of their assemblies, Ralph declares boldly, “The thing is Fear can't hurt you any more than a dream. There aren't any beasts to be afraid of on this island.... Serves you right if something did get you, you useless lot of cry-babies!" (p. 82) Ralph, in fact, is so intent on convincing others that there is nothing to fear. In any case, fear is harmless, he believes.

Piggy takes a scientific, rational approach. “Life is scientific. … I know there isn’t no beast…but I know there isn’t no fear, either.” (Chapter 5, p. 84) Instead of being the least worried about the beast, letting fear consume him, Piggy refuses to let fear control him, calmly fighting back with knowledge and reason.

Jack, too, is unafraid; he is carefree. During one of the assemblies (Chapter 5), he says, “Well then, I’ve been all over this island. By myself. If there were beast, I’d have seen it. Be frightened because you’re like that - but there is no beast in the forest.” (p. 83) He tries telling the littleuns there is no beast, even as the littleuns are so overcome by fear they fear doing anything, anyway. But Jack remains confident and unafraid. To him, there is no beast; he fears no beast. The only thing he fears is the persistent refusal to find the truth, face it and analyze what’s causing it.

The boys, of course, seem not to realize the truth that the only beast is the one within themselves, the one they create and recreate but refuse to confront and accept. Only Simon, the calm one, has the courage to ponder, “'Maybe there is a beast.... Maybe it's only us."

And so the boys’ struggle through their worst fears. Refusing to reason and face reality, they suffer in ignorance, breeding beasts of every shape and in every delirious circumstance. And they live in the island of their minds, evolving beasts of their own creation.

And so they panic. And kill
