Lord of The Flies is a perfect example of a modern classic. It is a compelling story about a group of young and very ordinary small boys, who get deserted on a coral island. Summary Lord of the Flies represents a perfect allegory for men. When a group of young English school boys get stranded on an uninhabited coral island when their plane crash lands on it. In the beginning, everyone cooperates with each other but soon things take an ugly turn into a nightmare of fear and death. At first, trying to be civilized the boys appoint a leader to guide them through and assign the daily chores to the boys. But things turn sour when there is major power struggle between the boys and the whole concept of perfect world collapses right in front of their eyes and they get to experience a world, which is primitive, brutal and cruel.
