The plot is built around a group of British boys who got in a plane crush and ended up on uninhabited island without elders. The novel collides the survival instincts and humanity in boys aged 9-13 while they are trying to live on the island. As days go, they lose hope for being rescued and established their own social order. In a very democratic way, the order satisfy the most but does not fit the needs of all of them causing a split.
The novel is a very complex and heavy on one's mind while showcasing kids' cruelty and will for power. Lord of the Flies has a lot of controversial reviews as the story questions nature and nurture human behaviour.
