The novel Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, is an allegory looking at totalitarianism vs. democracy governing within humans. William Golding has two characters (Jack and Ralph) that he uses to exemplify totalitarianism vs. democracy. The two main characters represent the two different governments which lead to many arguments and other more severe conflicts between the two. The battle of the two governments on this deserted island is a small representation of what’s happening in Europe at this time. Golding makes an obvious reference to totalitarianism with the character of Jack throughout the novel Lord of the Flies. Totalitarianism is a centralized government that does not tolerate parties of differing opinion,
