Metaphors in Lord of the Flies chapters 2-4?

Answer 1

"In a year or two when the war's over, they'll be traveling to Mars and back."

Answer 2

The main allegory for Lord of the Flies is that without civilization, savagery takes over. The Lord of the Flies and the Beast are not really physical characters. It is the evil that is in every human. Without civilization the boys unleashed this evil. Piggy stood for intellect which every civilization needs, when he died it showed that savagery had completely taken over. Also Simon stood for morality, but not because civilization told him to be moral, but because he knew that morality was natural. But this book shows the allegory that savagery is stronger and more natural than civilization, this it took over.

The death of Simon indicates how morality and goodness cannot survive within savagery.

Notice that this savagery stops when the navel man appears. he also stands for civilization and it has come back, so savagery is put away

Answer 3

In chapters 2-4 of "Lord of the Flies," some metaphors include the "beast" symbolizing the boys' inner fears and savagery, the conch shell representing order and civilization, and the signal fire standing for hope and rescue. These metaphors help convey deeper themes and ideas about human nature, society, and the struggle between civilization and savagery.
