- Here's a brief chapter analysis on 'Lord of the Flies'. You'll notice there isn't an analysis video for every chapter: this is because the newer videos placed at the start of my 'Lord of the Flies' playlist now cover the content from the old chapter analysis videos. The newer videos contain better quality sound and visuals, so you should watch those first. Slowly all of these older videos will be replaced with new, higher quality content.

I think it’s interesting to note how throughout the book the imagery becomes more and more obvious and less implicit - in the beginning phrases such as “ape-like among trees” made subtle reference to the boys’ descent into savagery, but now the symbolism is expressed much more bluntly and less sophisticated, “like a dog”. So in a way this comment on language is also sort of a comment on structure - not only does the boys’ language slowly devolve to reflect the gradual death of civilisation within the society they’ve built, but the writers language does too. Just a thought🤷🏻♀️ btw my gcse is tomorrow and ur videos have been a LIFESAVER. thank u sooooo much
Do you think that most of the problems on the island come from the boy's lack of ability to communicate? -
Ralph can't communicate to the boys how important the huts and the fire is which means the boys don't help,
Jack doesn't say he's going off hunting and leaving the fire to go out which means there is no smoke when the boat goes past,
Simon is shy and doesn't speak which means his ideas are ignored, then...
Simon doesn't get the chance to say the beast isn't real because he is killed which means Jack can still use the fear of the beast for power,
The curtain that falls in Ralph's mind prevents him from persuading the boys to follow him because he can't communicate his ideas,
Roger chooses to kill Piggy than listen to him
Piggy is separated from the other boys because he uses different language, abbreviations and slang because he is lower class, which impedes his ability to communicate his ideas.
Nice analysis Mr. bruff ... I quite like the ending of the novel, its not conventional, it really is the microcosm of society as a whole...
'Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart.' so deep. . . touches my heart. . . EVERYTIME
Please could you make a video about the best quotations from Lord of the Flies because i am struggling to pick them out for the new GCSE? I love your videos, they have helped me improve from around 19 or 20 marks in poetry to 28 marks. You are a lifesaver!!! :)
Agreed
Your accent definitely helped me focus. Thank you, soo much for this analysis From Canada Toronto
+How To thanks!
My mother made a very true comment about how wrong Golding was on human nature, how that humans are naturally inclined to have a more cooperative balance with each other, rather than to just immediately turn savage, for example, if someone talks to the most moronic person, about being stabbed in the eye, that person's natural response is to wince/cringe, and even though this isn't really to suggest that we're naturally cooperative, we're certainly not naturally evil without rules.
I also argued that it may not be about how adults would handle being stranded on an island, but how children alone would, seeing as children haven't had a full emotional/mental development; I remember when I was younger anytime someone mocked me, I wanted to beat them up, but obviously I restrained myself because there were rules. But throughout my entire teenage life I've never wanted to beat anyone up for mocking me, because that's ridiculous.
It's just a thought, but could Golding's psychological features of the novel be inaccurate?
I think the reason why all the boys lost their way, was because they listened to the one who shouted the loudest,and was the most intimidating. But then again they are children, and I believe that this is how they would act. Adults probably wouldn't. I think it is not that man is necessarily evil, it only shows how man is easily misguided.
Tnx for all the videos they were really helpful
Such amazing videos. I am definitely going to have my online students refer to your videos.
mr bruff back at it again thanks g
thankyou so much ! all your videos are so helpful !!
legend thank you so much
I think it is not that man is necessarily evil, it only shows how man(or in this case children) are easily misguided.
how would you structure an essay on this, as it isn't extract based like the other texts?
Thanks!
Which quotes are with which chapter?
THANK YOU SIR😆😄
+Jubil Angelu no problem
couldn't golding be saying that the only escape from the evil of mankind is to reciprocate it like how the boat is an escape for the boys.
