Are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
Lord of the Flies was written around in 1954, which was the time period of World War II. He may have influenced by the wars happening in the world at that time. He put his own views and thoughts into the novel by using symbolisms. He conducted main characters into an extreme situation and described our human nature. As shown in the novel, the conflicts have among the boys made me think about the Iraq War happening in the world right now. I don’t know much about it so I researched a little bit of information.
Iraq war is the result of conflicts of both informal and formal between the Iraq military and union of multinational forces which began with the invasion of 2003. The United States and the United Kingdom were the two major components of the occupation that invaded Saddam Hussein's government.
For some people say that Iraq war is just an energy war. Potentially, Iraq has lots of oil energy, and the geographic feature of this country is profitable. It is located in Middle East, bordering the Persian Gulf, between Iran and Kuwait. Especially Iraq holds about 20 percent of total oil production in the world which is considerable portion.
In other words, it is the war of fighting with the greed. But the result in greed toward profit doesn’t only show corruption of human civilization, it is also like the catharsis of healthful will to present our human greed. To clarify, the greed that boys have toward authority in the novel is related to the result of the war beyond human’s greed. So I would say the novel don't shed any light on the current situation, which is "fixed" by illustrating the human nature itself.
