STYLE
Its style is foreboding, due to the parametric continuity of its scenes.
Golding from his point of narrator cracks the relationship between the characters and the reader, so each one is unpredictable, but at the same time natural and extremely real in their behaviors, as well as in thoughts.
The author tries to detach the natural stereotypes of the island evidencing the antithesis of the "paradise" created by the boys, comparing "plane crash and a scar, also between the bird and the witch" which gives to conceive the tenebrous aspect of the place.
-
Golding uses metaphors and generic words such as "child", "bird", "jungle", to involve the reader more strongly, as he will always wonder what each word represents, which allows for continuity in his reading.
This book mixes lyrical descriptions of nature with real action scenes and long dialogues between characters.
It is written in third person omniscient, so Golding controls and sees everything.
