1. Knowledge is important in all aspects of life. It is gained through experience and teaching. Throughout Lord of the Flies by William Golding‚ knowledge is used and abused. Socrates sums up many events occurring in the book and a certain character with his quote “The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance”. 2. Piggy was the bearer of much knowledge. He had much input but got hardly any credit due to his passive and non-confrontational nature. We see the more egotistical characters

Symbolic importance in Lord of the Flies In “Lord of the Flies” written by William Golding‚ there are several symbols throughout the novel that are significantly important due to their meaning. In my opinion‚ the three main symbols are the signal fire‚ the conch and Lord of the Flies.

In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies‚ evil is portrayed through various types of situations‚ characters and symbols.
