Question

Many critics say that the film version of The Lord of the Flies is too different from the book. Describe the differences between the first five chapters of the book and what we've seen so far in the film. Do you believe those differences are good or bad? Must Explain in 200 words.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The central concern of Lord of the Flies is the conflict between two competing impulses that exist within all human beings: the instinct to live by rules, act peacefully, follow moral commands, and value the good of the group against the instinct to gratify one’s immediate desires, act violently to obtain supremacy over others, and enforce one’s will. This conflict might be expressed in a number of ways: civilization vs. savagery, order vs. chaos, reason vs. impulse, law vs. anarchy, or the broader heading of good vs. evil. Throughout the novel, Golding associates the instinct of civilization with good and the instinct of savagery with evil. The movie so far tells that he conflict between the two instincts is the driving force of the novel, explored through the dissolution of the young English boys’ civilized, moral, disciplined behavior as they accustom themselves to a wild, brutal, barbaric life in the jungle. These differences are good because it creates suspense for the readers. To have their minds wondering what will happen in the story based on the text. But something else happens in the movie then the book.
