The Queen of the Flies is native to Coral Island

In fact, "Lord of the Flies" was born from "Coral Island", if you want to make a shallow analogy, the King of the Flies is a fan fiction, just like the tomb robber notes to the ghost blowing lights.

But the depth of the Fandom to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, that is also a skill.

The names of the protagonists of the two books are the same, Ralph, Jack. The third character is called Peterkin in Coral Island and piggy in Lord of the Flies, and has a very similar pronunciation in English.

To be precise, Lord of the Flies should be counted as a novel of deliberate subversion of Coral Island. It's like opposing Qiong Yao's Hongyan YuFei and opposing Qiong Yao's princess's dignity. (Uncle Wang: What books do you read a day? Me: Labor Bloggers do not refuse to come. ）

On Coral Island, Ralph, Jack, and Peterkin drift to a desert island. It is a peach blossom-like story and a happy ending to a reunion with the indigenous people LetaoTao.

Here's why the two stories go in completely different directions.

To happily ending, two elements need to be met. That is, Hobsti's limited resources and the equality of all people are the opposite of the two premises: resources are unlimited, and there are great differences between people's intellectual and physical strength.

Coral Island is such a world.

Natural coconut water and fresh water are inexhaustible, making it easy to catch birds and pick wild fruits.

Jack is 18, three years older than Ralph and four years older than Peter King. Among teenagers, the difference in abilities brought about by this age gap is difficult to smooth out.

Not to mention Jack's personality is extremely leadership. So there is no competition at all, only command and obedience.

This is a story of the Peach Blossoms of the East and the Garden of Eden in the West.

But is it true? I don't think so. The souls of the three of them were not children at all, they were three Victorian gentlemen in the shell of a child.

The book was written in 1958, the year of the Sino-British Truce and the signing of the Treaty of Tianjin.

Britain is just as japanese as it was in colonial expansion.

In essence, this book is a glorification of the aggressor's own image.

The three protagonists are the colonists who beautify themselves with the image of prosperity, civilization, enterprising, affinity, and help the indigenous people on coral islands.

The biggest problem with this story is that the preconditions are too idealistic.

The world is simply not infinitely resourced, and there can be no situation in which a single person's intellectual and physical strength is enough to crush the whole world.

This coral island is not at all a state of nature that is authentic and universal.

It is exactly the fairy tale of atypical characters in an atypical environment, or a colonial fairy tale.

Look at the real world. See George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm.
