A man named Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel once said, "Irony is a clear consciousness of an eternal agility, of the infinitely abundant chaos" (the third volume of Athenaeum). In fact, the very nature of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, is ironic since it reveals savagery and perversity where one would expect innocence and purity within a child. Not to mention, the plot twist displays situational and verbal events that are also in unison with irony. Finally, Goldings use of symbolism to coincide with the theme of civilization versus savagery of how a person rules civilization, not vice versa.
