Lord of the Flies Chapter 6 "Beast from Air"

Symbol of Chapter 6

How Chapter 6 Relates to Golding's Theme

What is strange or odd in Chapter 6?

Out of many themes, chapter 6 demonstrates the predominant themes of fear and authority. The beast represents the sum total of all of the boys' fears on the island. Ralph and the conch show authority throughout the novel, but as the chapter goes on, Jack begins to challenge the authority of Ralph more than ever before by refusing to listen his orders and openly complaining.

An unusual thing happens on the Castle rock; Ralph loses his focus and grip on reality and begins to go a little "batty." He only sees the enthusiasm of the boys pushing the rocks all around him and loses his train of thought. He does not actually see anything and Golding uses figurative language, "a bat's wing," to describe what is going on in the front of Ralph's mind.

What does Golding Reveal?

In chapter 6, Golding reveals a sign from the "adult world." It is a dead soldier signaling that civilization also hides savagery within. The beast puts out the fire, which is the last link to civilization for the boys.
