ExamTickets with Lord of the Flies

 ExamTickets: Tips & Tricks with studying the book

 Important topics that are covered in Lord of the Flies are:

• the tension between group dynamics and individuality
• the tension between rational and emotional reactions
• the tension between morality and immorality

 At the end of every chapter, therefore, ask yourself whether and how these three tensions were treated

 Trivia: the title of the book, "Lord of the Flies", is a direct reference to Beelzebub. Beelzebub is sometimes another name for the devil - similar to Satan - and the Dictionnaire Infernal describes Beelzebub as a being capable of flying, known as the "Lord of the Flyers", or the "Lord of the Flies".

 As popularized by Rutger Bregman in his book 'Humankind' the real-life experience of a shipwreck need not be one of quarrel and dismay. Therefore, one should not read this book as a historical account, but as a story that illustrates and exemplifies societal and psychological tensions relevant to all of us
