Eng 11(S)

1. Mark LOTF Ch. 3 questions
2. Notes: Freudian undertones in Lord of the Flies

• Id (Jack) - Ego (Ralph) - Superego (Piggy)
• id: includes all of the instinctive and primitive behaviors.
• driven by the pleasure principle: strives for immediate gratification of all desires, wants, and needs. 
• If these needs are not satisfied immediately, the result is a state anxiety or tension. 
• ego: ensures that the impulses of the id can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real world.
• The ego operates based on the reality principle, which strives to satisfy the id's desires in realistic and socially appropriate ways. 
• superego: The ego ideal: rules and standards for good behaviors (include those which are approved of by parental and other authority figures.)
• The superego acts to perfect and civilize our behavior. 
• works to suppress all unacceptable urges of the id and struggles to make the ego act upon idealistic standards rather that upon realistic principles

3. Homework for Monday: Find evidence of id-ego-superego in pop culture (TV shows, movies, video games, books, magazines, stories) and share with the class

4. Map handout: Due at the end of the novel.

Important places to include on your map:

1. Mark (and record) chapter 2 questions
2. Notes:
- Lord of the flies: translated from Hebrew, means Beelzebub
- Butterfly; Greek for psyche (What is the significance of Simon's connection to nature? Why is he surrounded by butterflies?)
- Utopia vs. Dystopia: A utopia is an ideal place, potentially unattainable, where discord, violence, and poverty are eliminated.
An example is R.M. Ballantyne’s Coral Island (1857).
Golding wrote an anti-Coral Island.
LOTF is a dystopia - a world full of violence, inequality and irrationality.
- Metaphor: An extended narrative that carries a second meaning below the surface story.
An example is Animal Farm. On the surface it’s a simple story of rebellious animals; underneath it’s a story of the Russian Revolution. To Golding, the deeper story in LOTF is both Biblical and psychological in nature.
- Symbolism: Events, places, objects, qualities and characters can all represent something else.
Symbols are incarnations of abstract ideas, and help connect the surface story to the deeper allegorical dimensions of the narrative. - Characters: Ralph/Jack/Piggy/Simon/Roger, Objects/Locations: the scar/conch/glasses/the candle buds/fire/the “fort”, Qualities: light vs. dark

Eng 11(S)

1. Context, symbols and theme in Lord of the Flies (chapter 1)

• William Golding wrote the book after being adversely affected by World War II; his views on human nature and mankind's capacity for evil are evident in the themes in the novel (for instance, innocence vs. experience, civilization vs. savagery)
• Chapter 1 establishes the parameters with which this civilization functions
• Island solely populated with English schoolboys, an important distinction: boys are in a constant state of tension with regards to rules they are expected to follow. Left to their own devices, boys often behave with instinctive cruelty and violence (in chapter 1, the boys cruelly taunt Piggy, Jack aggressively vies for leadership
• In chapter 1, the boys largely stick to the social rules of civilization they grew up with: 1. they elect a leader, 2. division of labour, 3. systematically explore the island
• Symbolism: Piggy - represents intellectual and scientific modes of thinking in society (ex. decides to take names of all the boys, suggests the conch be used for the practical purpose of calling the other boys), conch - symbolic of leadership, law & order, political legitimacy, summons boys for meetings, gives authority for speaking to the group
