Lord of the Flies


Whether its the boys representing the world as a whole or the conch shell standing as authority on the island, the constant use of symbolism in Lord of the Flies is not hard to depict. I was particularly interested in the use of color as a symbol, for it is something so simple yet it adds meaning to the text. I centered my paper around the symbolism of pink in the story and I learned that as the story progressed the lack of pink portrays the loss of innocence on the island.
