Lord of the Flies represents a perfect allegory for men. When a group of young English school boys get stranded on an uninhabited coral island when their plane crash lands on it.
The only survivors are a group of schoolboys. In the beginning, everyone cooperates with each other in the freedom and celebrate the absence of grown-ups. but soon things take an ugly turn into a nightmare of fear and death. Major power struggle between the boys and the whole concept of perfect world collapses right in front of their eyes and they get to experience a world, which is primitive, brutal and cruel.

Suddenly, the world of cricket, homework and adventure stories seems a long way away.
