Pojman's Morality In Lord Of The Flies

Pojman is relating the novel “Lord of the flies” to the account of Hobbes’s morality, by saying that in a way they are agreeing with each other. Hobbes is explaining the function of morality, why we need morality. Hobbes is say that we have rational and egoistic natures. Pojman believes that morality is a set of rules that consists of; keeping society from falling apart, to make human suffering better, to promote human flourishing, to resolve conflicts of interest in orderly ways and to assign praise and blame, reward the good and punish the guilty. In Golding’s novel we see these rules not being followed, without morality we see what a mess the boys made on the island of themselves, not only taking of lives, but the enjoyment of the task.
