The story takes place in the distant future. During a nuclear war, a plane takes a group of boys from mainland England to the south for evacuation. The plane was attacked and forced to land on an uninhabited coral island in the Pacific. These children are temporarily separated from the civilized world. The planes are gone, the adults are gone, and the civilized world that mankind has built with so much hard work is in danger. The environment on the island is very harsh, posing a threat to the children who are lucky enough to survive. However -
The biggest danger comes from these innocent children themselves.
The story is set in a remote period in the future. During a nuclear war, a group of boys are evacuating from Britain to the south in a plane, which was forced to land on a desolate coral island after being attacked. So the boys are temporarily cut off from the civilized world. No plane, no adults, the civilization which human beings took great pains to extablish becomes precariously at risk. The unfavorable living condition on the island is posing a threat to the survival of the kids, but ---
The evil inside these innocent boys are even more hazardous.
The children started life on the island without adults. 12-year-old Ralph is the son of a British naval commander. He is elegant, optimistic and confident, and is delighted to be free from adult control. He blew a conch, organized the children scattered across the island, and was elected leader at the plenary meeting. Under the leadership of Ralph, the children set up tents, gathered wild fruits, and lit bonfires to wait for help. At first, the children lived in harmony on the isolated island, and they were happy. However, with the appearance of the "Beast", the peace and harmony on the island was broken, and the children quickly divided into two groups: one group was led by Ralph As representatives, we insist on establishing a civilized social order on the island, such as requiring defecation in designated places, holding meetings and raising hands to speak when something happens, and always lighting a fire on the beach as a signal for help. The other group is represented by the choir leader Jack. They scorn these civilized and democratic practices and advocate the original evil in human nature and the instinct of destruction and destruction.
They begin an island life without adult guidance. The 12-year-old Ralf is the son of an British Navy Commander. As an elegant, optimistic and confident boy, Ralf feels hilarious to get rid of adult control . He summons the other boys scattering on the island with a trumpet and declares himself their leader. Under Ralf's leadership, the boys set up tents, collect wild fruits, and light bonfires as signals asking for rescue. At first their island life seems harmonious and Enjoyable, until the appearance of some "wild beasts". The tranquility was disturbed among them. As a result, they split up into two groups: one headed by Ralf, insisting on establishing a civilized island society with ordered behaviors, for example, taking pees at designated locations, organizing meetings to cope with emergencies, rasing his hands when someone wants to speak at such meetings, and lastly, a perennial fire being kept as a signal of asking for rescue. The other party of them is headed by Jack, the choir leader. They sneered at the civilized, democratic conducts, advocated the original sin, devastation, and instincts for destroying.
Jack was pretentious and very dissatisfied with Ralph's election as leader. He was assigned to hunt, so he stuck the hunted wild boar head on a sharp stake, and forced other children to imitate the savages and paint their faces in colorful colors, and reveled around the wild boar head covered with flies, but let the bonfire to save his life extinguished, thereby losing a precious opportunity for salvation. The scary thing is that later on, the latter tendency became more dominant, and more children joined this group of people. After being far away from human civilization and its normative constraints, the evil of human nature has been unprecedentedly released, causing them to gradually step into the abyss of "evil". In order to seize the leadership position, Jack led people to attack Ralph's residence. In the fierce battle, Ralph's best friend Piggy fell off a cliff and died in the melee. Simon was beaten to death with a stick, and Ralph himself also died. Caught in siege. The boys kill each other and the whole island is in terror. This group of boys eventually completely destroyed everything here, and the entire island burned in a raging fire. At the critical moment, a British warship discovered the fire on the island and arrived in time. Ralph survived.
Presumptuous by nature, Jack felt discontent when Ralf is elected the leader. When he is assigned the hunting job, he stabbed through
the heads of wild hogs on pointed wood posts. Then he forces his crew to paint their faces in mised colors like barbarians do and have a spree around the hog head which had buzzing flies around. He does not stop the signal fire from burning out, though, which deprived the boys of the valuable chance of receiving rescue. It turned out more disasterous that, as time went by, Jack's party prevailed and more boys joined them. The evil of human nature finally finds an outlet when the boys are far away from civilization and other obligations. The boys stepped into the abyss of "evil". In a bid to regain his leadership, Ralf attacked the residence of Jack with his crew. Ralf's best friend, Piggy, dies in the intense battle after falling off a cliff, Simon is beaten to death, and Ralf himself is surrounded. A slaughter followed among the boys. Horror swept the whole island. Finally these boys destroyed the whole lot on the island, whild ended up in a glaring fire. A turning point saved the day when an British warship noticed the fire and arrived on time to rescue Ralf.
Ralph finally realized his wish to be rescued, but he felt extremely sad and cried constantly for the loss of humanity among his companions...
