Jack in The Lord of the Flies by William GoldingThe title says it all, “The Lord of the Flies” in Hebrew is Satan. The evil, the evil that is in us all. As we can infer from this title, the book contains darker elements in the narrative. This book about boys stuck on an island is named after evil incarnate.
