Similarity between Macbeth and lord of the flies
Here, evil is brouht about as the result of ambition. In Lord of the Flies, evil occures as a natural part of man once society is stripped from him. Macbeth is an ambitous man who takes his fate into his own hands, and has them covered with blood in the process. He starts out a seemingly good man, but is tempted to betray his own sense of morality by the temptation of power, and ends up a hated tyrant. Both Lord of the Flies and Macbeth implies that evil is part of us as humans, but where Macbeth urges us as readers or as an audience to take care not to act on this evil, Lord of the Flies seems to ask whether we are at all able to. We define what evil is based on what we ourselves consider to be good. The boys on the island would probably have all agreed that it would be wrong, and indeed evil, to kill and torture each other, and be horrified at the idea of organising a hunt for Ralph's head.
