In Shakespeare's "Macbeth" and Golding's "Lord of the Flies", the representation of disturbed characters differs. The story of Macbeth is set in medieval Scotland, in a time when fear and violence dominated the world; a society where clans fought for power and craved the title of the next king. In the play Macbeth is a glorified soldier who meets his destiny after being led astray by selfish ambitions. Likewise, Golding's experience with World War II had a profound effect on his view of humanity and the evils of which it was capable. His novel demonstrates a postmodern vision – the principle that rejects the idea of ​​objective truth and universal social progress – leaving the boys stranded on an island. Free from the rules that adult society had previously imposed on them, the children struggle to maintain a civilized community and ultimately descend into anarchy. Both writers have different opinions regarding the definition of disturbed and this is reflected in their characters. Atmosphere and settings are used by both Golding and Shakespeare to foreshadow future events. In Lord of the Flies, the island is an allegorical object that represents the overall modernist view of civilization: that the world is improving and that progress is inevitable. With its “dazzling beach” and “open sea”, the island almost creates the feeling that it is the Garden of Eden; a place of perfection. However, the image becomes stained when the reader realizes that the island is not pristine: it is marked by a "scar". Although this "scar" was caused by the plane crash that brought the boys to the island, it can be interpreted in such a way as to allow us to understand what or who Golding classifies as disturbed. This flaw, otherwise intact... at the center of the card... of the crime, has awakened in him a powerful sense of guilt that will haunt him throughout the play. The king's blood serves as a symbol of that guilt and in Macbeth's eyes, "all the great ocean of Neptune" cannot cleanse him of the blood and guilt that comes from the crime. He states that there is enough blood on his hands to turn the entire sea red. Lady Macbeth shares different ideas, she thinks that “a little water” would free them from their act, this juxtaposes Macbeth's thoughts because of the big difference between a little water and all the sea water. But, as Lady Macbeth eventually realizes, that blood symbolizes the guilt that sits as a permanent stain on the conscience of both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, a stain that haunts them to the grave. While Jack rejoices at the success of his first murder, Macbeth is traumatized by the ordeal..
