Friday‚ 18th January‚ 2013 How does William Golding use the setting to develop the main theme of his novel‚ Lord of the Flies?

Orwell’s 1984 is a novel which describes utter and total hate- hate of those who are different‚ hate of evil and hate of all other humans. It is where love is described as absurd‚ and totally unnecessary. People are bred to hate‚ and hate is the primary emotion that people feel.
