Lord of the Flies - Thug Notes Summary and Analysis
Yo yo this here is Sparky Sweets
PhD and this week we gettin buck wild with Lord of the Flies by
William Golding. Dis book starts when a G5 full of
prissy British boys crash lands on a remote island in da Pacific.
Among the survivors be homies Ralph, Piggy, Jack, and Simon. In
order to get their boys in line, Piggy and Ralph snag a big ass
shell that they can use to holler at their boys and talk bidness.
They call this shell the conch. Now all these kids appoint my boy
Ralph as the leader and lets Jack be the head hunter.
At first,
Jack be too much of a bitch to kill for food, but soon enough dis
gangsta busts his cherry and gets some of dat good pork. All the while, the youngins be
actin scurred cuz some little fool say he saw a monster, but Ralph be
all like chill shawty, that shits all in yo head, son. Then one day Jack rolls up to camp,
blows the conch, and say that he saw the beast with his own eyes and
that Ralph aint got the balls to be the leader. Ralph say Boy who
you think you talking to? And Jack be like look.
If you all want
some of that bacon, you gonna have to leave Ralphs posse and join my
new crew. Straight up. So Jack and his crew shank another
pig and impale its head on a stick as an offerin to the beast. Then,
my brother Simon has a vision of dat pork talkin to him! That pig head
be referred to as The lord of the Flies and it start spittin cold
truth up in Simons ear: He say that the beast aint somethin them
boys can hunt cuz it aint nothin but the violence in dem kids
hearts.
When Simon hauls ass back to camp,
all dem little homies mistake him for the beast and waste that fool
in a cracked out frenzy. Even Ralph and Piggy get some licks in. Wheew,
this shit gettin real. After that whack ass dance, Jack
and his posse storm Ralphs crib and steal Piggys glasses, which be
the only thing they can use to make a fire.
Ralph just aint having it with
this honkie Jack. So Ralphie boot up and starts brawlin wit this
fool. During the tussle, Piggy gets thrown off a cliff and the conch
shatters. Outnumbered by Jacks homies, Ralph books it for the
shore and just when he about to collapse, Ralph peeps a Naval
officer chilling in the water.
When this playa sees dem kids tryin to
kill Ralph, he be like Have you kids lost your damn mind? Then he
puts dem kids on the boat and takes em back to civilization. But they
innocence is long gone. Alright listen up play boy. Dis
book be an allegorical effort to take all the fucked up shit about
society and find its origin in human nature.
By watchin these
little white boys lose their mind, we reminded of humanitys capacity
for evil and how man-made moral systems be straight up superficial. But you wanna know the wackest
irony of all, my man? Even though adult life may look all righteous
once dat navy playa drops in, the truth is, that soldier boy be smack
in the middle of a war. In fact, this fool was trying to get the
drop on his enemy when he found these kids. So the real tragedy up
in here is that they aint nobody to save civilized humanity from
they violent nature neither.
You feel me? You also best recognize that the
central symbol up in this heezy is that pig-head on a stick, or what
the narrator be callin The Lord of the Flies-another name for
Beelzebub, the prince of demons. AKA THE DEVIL. And like the Devil
be doin, he representing the destruction, decay and
demoralization of man kind homie. Yo, and if you wanna get all
Freudian up in this bitch, you can say that The Lord of the Flies be
representin the id, which functions only to ensure survival.
Laws, moral codes, even intelligence itself dont mean jack
shit when the id be in charge.
Look, You just aint rollin with
the big dawgs unless you know bout this here motif son. All throughout this book
dey be recurring patterns of fallin- Piggy
fallin off the cliff and the conch falling with him, the falling
parachutist, Ralph fallin at the navy mans feet. All dat shit be
emphasizing the fall of human kind." Also, the Loss of Piggys sight be
a symbol for the fall of reason. When that punk Jack boosts Piggys
glasses to make a fire for his gang, it straight up indicates the
transition from the reign of reason to the reign of savagery.
