Title: A pessimistic view of humankind
Review: I was assigned to read this book for World History. My teacher said that it related to man's inner self, and she led discussions how Golding is trying to portray that man is inherently evil and killing is man's natural instinct. I feel that this is rather a bleak and completely pessimistic view of humankind, and I do not believe that a group of children, or people of any age for that matter, would behave as savagely as Golding suggests. I did not agree with the themes of the book and did not enjoy reading it at all.
Is the review positive or negative?
