Just after the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Japan

The period in which Lord of the Flies takes places is not mentioned in the book. As an ejectable aircraft 'passenger tube' and a nuclear war against 'The Reds' are both mentioned it would probably be safe to place the time frame as being set during some imagined future nuclear war against communism.

___

Lord of the Flies does not take place in a future imagined war - it took place during the early years of the Cold War in which the USA was against the USSR in the fight for nuclear weapons.

___

The future? What? No it took place in World War II Haha :)

Lord of the Flies takes place during World War Two, more specifically around the time of the London Blitz, where they were sending there children to different areas of Europe and Britain to keep them safe, that's why they were in the plane.

Many people would quote from chapter 8: Gift For the Darkness, where Simon gazes at the pig's head on a stick... 'and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable recognition.' However Golding's clear intention was to state that evil is not an external force but an attribute that exists within us all, it is the 'darness in man's heart.' His message seems to have been that we have no need for invented Gods, devils or 'beasts' as we are capable of good and utmost evil all by ourselves, we need no imagined supernatural help. The original title of the book, "The Stranger Who Lies Within," gave the game away completely and the change to the more ambiguous "Lord of the Flies" with its hints of demonic intervention left much more open to the personal interpretation of the reader.

William Golding believes that if people were put to an isolated place where it's kill or be killed-like the war- people will become savage. Even kids who are seen as the most innocent will become savage if their lives depended on it and especially when there is no rules of civilisation to restrain them. Golding believes that all human has inner evil that they are not aware of. These are his views from when he was a soldier in the WWII. Lord of the Flies is a 're-write' of an earlier novel called Coral Island where the boys are very civilised and working together and Golding thought it was baloney so this is his 'version'. He especially used boys because he used to work in a boys' school so he knows exactly how boys would act.

Hope this helps! =)

During World War II, the English government thought up an evacuation plan to save children and women if bombing began in major towns. The plan was to put people on an airplane and evacuate them to the countryside or to the United States. As the story of Lord of the Flies begins, the boys on the airplane are being evacuated from England, most likely to an area overseas considering they landed on an island.

Lord of the Flies was based during World War II. That is why the boys were on the plane that was shot down. They were being evacuated out of a war zone.
