I have finished reading Lord of the Flies a few months ago, but am still interested in it. Would anyone like to tell me their interpretations of the book?

boys are at heart twisted evil little minions of badness?

We had to study Lord of the Flies this year as an English text - it was ok at parts however we had to study it in-depth.

One of the theories was that the island the boys were stranded on was represented as the Garden of Eden - the Religous Allegory. The boys all come onto the island with innocence however as the novel progresses, taint comes into being such as the killing of the first pig. I can't exactly remember some of the bits but all I remember is that Jack ruins the island by setting it on fire to smoke out Ralph and this is a representation of Adam and Eve being cast out of the Garden of Eden by that angel with the flaming sword.

There are other sides such as the Political and Social Allegory but I can't be bothered writing them out...
