The word evil is found in the dictionary as evil, sinful, evil, which can cause problems. On the other hand, good has the meaning of beneficial, honest, noble and pure. In society, evil and good mean different things to each person, what is holy to one person is harmful to another. Historical fact that establishes that the wickedness of humanity is part of its nature as a human being, a people born with abomination. Experiments like Milgram Prison and Stanford show the wickedness of society. In fact, Lord of the Flies by William Golding brings to light the theme of evil versus good. What makes this novel attractive is a group of kids trying to survive on an island while trying to coexist with civilization to avoid war in the group. As the moment approaches, the behavior and true personality of each of the themes is revealed. Since in every experiment there is a leader, in the novel Jack is a leader who takes advantage of his authority to have control over the other kids. Above all, for some people in society, evil is learning from people. On the contrary, the evidence shows that evil triumphs over good. The central character of Lord of the Flies is Jack, a boy who emphasizes acquiring food and hunting; Ralph trying to live in civilization while they pursue the goal of rescue; Piggy, the island idealist who is eternally in agreement with Ralph's ideas and the last is Simon, the symbol of purity and nature. In this arrangement of the boys, Jack proposes himself as leader even if some of the boys do not agree with his ideas. At the beginning of the novel, all is well but it quickly ends when they miss the opportunity to be rescued due to Jack's hunting obsession. Behind this event is the... middle of paper... evil place on a good person. The result has been that once a person has authority he can commit the greatest number of atrocities in the world without thinking about the consequences. These three tests show the reality of human beings, not only adults find themselves in a malicious situation, children are capable of becoming truly dangerous. I wonder what would happen if the group of kids never received the request? or what would happen if one of the students in the Milgram experiment died? What if the Stanford prison experiment hadn't been stopped? Some people were simply born evil and others acquired evil. Other people might think that it all depends on the situation or your morality.
