LORD OF THE FLIES

William Golding

Conflicts and Obstacles

Ralph and the other children experience many difficulties, especially with social confrontations. They are a society of stranded boys. They all have different personalities so it is incredibly hard for them to communicate without any major conflicts occurring. Thus, the main conflict so far is Ralph’s and Jack’s relationship or battle for the reign. Ralph is extremely naive when it comes to Jack’s decision. Ralph does not realize that secretly Jack is trying to ruin all his schemes.

Not only does Ralph have to deal with Jack but also Piggy. Piggy is exceptionally sensitive. He beseeches Ralph to stop listening to Jack’s suggestions and cunning plans.It is also significantly hard to keep Piggy in safe conditions because of his problems with asthma.
