That's an oldhat anti-feminist meme to throw women a rheotrical bone so as to defuse their ambitions for actual power.

Every time.

It was clearly and consciously intended as an allegory for mankind as a whole. If it was actually just about a literal group of kids, it would have been a better book but it also wouldn’t be anywhere near as famous as it is.

I think people see in Lord of the Flies a "1984" for anarchism, but there are far better books to describe the breakdown of society into chaos that anarchism inevitably brings. Blindness, from the cuckold leftist writer Saramago, is far more tangible than this.

How is LOTF related to fascism?
How do people reach this conclusion? It's literally about a group of kids going full anarcho, and then the problems start to show and move into a state of tribalism until an old military white guy with a weapon shows up and magically fixes everything.
If anything, it would be an ode to fascism.

Uh yeah
Am I really supposed to be surprised by that?
>>
>>25266141
Ill look into that one

Of course it’s relevant, it’s mandatory in schools. It’s probably one of the few books anyone has actually read

The plot is incredibly interesting, but the book will surely enrage you at one point or another and will surely make you call out the author's cuckoldry fetish.
>>
lord of the flies is about british boarding school children
>>
>>25265828
1) see >>25265864
2) Several cases of that scenario happening for real resulted in extraordinarily high cooperation, literally nothing at all like Lord of the Flies. It's a worthless fantasy written by some queer who projected modern cynicism backwards onto children.
>>

>>25265864
Lord of the flies is stupid misanthropic fiction by reveling in its sadism and how it portraits itself as relevant to humanity at large, but the real cases of similar scenarios involved adults or that famous case with 16 year olds, which is widely different from the 10-12 year olds of the story, who would indeed die left on their own even on a paradise island.
However "kids are evil" is harder to market than "people are evil" (or "men (male) are evil" which is also a component of the book) even though it would be slightly more cogent. The writer was too much of a cuck to write it too.

No.

No. It is a good book but ultimate is crazy

I studied an article about the event which Lord of the Flies is based on actually went pretty peaceful and well - they got saved.
>>
>>25270296
lord of the flies wasn't based on a real event, the incident you're talking about happened later
https://archive.is/tqdB0
but yes, lord of the flies is bullshit and one of the worst cases ever of people "learning" from fictional evidence
>>

>one of the worst cases ever of people "learning" from fictional evidence
it's so disheartening to learn some stupid belief people have is based on some old movie or bestselling novel from 1973 that everyone forgot but the false anecdote remains in public consciousness.
