General notes
Beezlebub - means Lord of the Flies and the Devil.


Lord of the Flies context
Influenced by world politics from when Golding grew up

Golding served in the Navy

Witness D-Day and the horrors of war

Golding became a teacher after

Witnessed the schoolboy’s nature and behaviour; power struggle

These are explored during Lord of the Flies

British Empire on decline → Still one of the strongest nations

British Empire → Polite, British manner conceal brutality?

LotF - popular adventure story category

Uniting for a common purpose - Treasure Island, Coral Island, Swallows and
Amazones

Kind of making fun of them

Think that an external threat is less dangerous than an internal threat

[Jack represents Hitler and the Nazis → totalitarian dictatorship]

All single-sex school - normal - corporal punishment as well

The Older Boys were alway on top

What if there were co-ed schools?

Only female is the beheaded mother sow/Piggy’s aunt - [violent rape-like
release]

Parody?

Instead of a fair society - the boys recreate a microcosm of the world-at-war
around the island

[For band 6, use context]
