Comparing and contrasting Jane Eyre to Lord of the Flies :: English Literature

Comparing and contrasting Jane Eyre to Lord of the FliesThe childrens childhood in Lord of the Flies is similar to Janesin Jane Eyre e.g. just like the boys, she is sc ared of somethingthat may non be real. Jane is afraid to go into the Red means, whenJane is told that she must go to the Red Room she says O Aunt Havepity Forgive me I can non endure it - allow me be punished some other counsel She is afraid of the go of Mr. Reed who died in the room along time ago. She has neer seen the ghost nevertheless she is still afraid ofthe possibility that it might be there. This is similar to the boys inLord of the Flies who are scared of the beast that inhabits theisland their plane has crashed on, even though none of the children afford seen it. In both of these incidents the children are afraid ofsomething in their heads.Jane is different to the boys in Lord of the Flies because the boysgo looking for the beast to prove that it does or does not exist.Jane doesnt even want to go near the red room and is instead happy toforget about the possibility of a ghost.Jane is disliked by the people around her (the Reeds). This is justlike Piggy in the way that they are both disliked by the people aroundthem. They have nowhere else to go so they must endure the agony of existence hated.Jane reads a lot of books and in Lord of the Flies, when the boysfirst arrive on the island they analyze their situation to the booksthat they have read i.e. Coral Island.In Jane Eyre Jane hates the place that she has to brisk in and wishesthat she could go and live somewhere else. Her knowledge of what shehas read and how much imagination she has is shown here because in thebook she wants to go and live in Lilliput or Brodingnad. The boys onthe other hand love the place that they are in at the start - theprospects of no adults to control them are endless, but when the orderthe Democracy they created falls through, they begin to hate theisland and wish to leave.The altogether adult rela tionship in Lord of the Flies is very brief, itis between Ralph and the Navy police officer who has come to rescue the boysfrom the island. The officer does not understand Ralph or what hashappened on the island.
