Golding’s novel, "Lord of the Flies," shows that evil is unavoidable in human nature.

However, “there came a pause, [] long enough for them to understand what an enormity the downward stroke would be,” (28). At that moment, there was enough time for Jack to realize that he had lacked hunting experience, resulting in the escape of the piglet. The boys around Jack k
