Describe the setting of the story Lord of the Flies by William Golding?

Answer 1

The book Lord of the Flies takes place on an unnamed tropical island. The island is superficially idyllic and provides the boys with a readily available supply of food, water and a warm climate. There is a convenient bathing pool, a mountain where the boys can light a signal fire and a 'platform' where they can hold meetings.

Answer 2

"Lord of the Flies" is set on a deserted tropical island during an unspecified war. The boys are stranded without adults and must fend for themselves, leading to a struggle for power and survival amidst the lush yet dangerous environment. The island serves as a microcosm of society, showcasing the dark side of human nature when stripped of civilization.

Answer 3

The setting is an unnamed island somewhere in the tropics. The island is roughly boat shaped with a mountain at its blunt end. The island slopes gradually, through jungle, to the pointed end, where it terminates in a rocky outcrop joined to the main island by a narrow causeway. There is a coral reef which encloses a lagoon on one side of the island. The other side of the island faces directly onto the open sea.

Answer 4

Lord of the Flies takes place on a previously uninhabited, unnamed, tropical island. The novel describes what happens when a group of boys, varying in age from around 6 up to 12 arrive on the island unaccompanied by any adults. The book details the unravelling of the society and rules, which the boys initially set in place, from the first mention of a snake-thing or beast. Central to the entire story is the struggle between Ralph, who tries to hold things together in the hope that they will eventually be rescued, and Jack, who wants power and enjoys killing pigs for pleasure rather than simply for food.
