Answer:
I think the ending is very fitting to this wonderful novel. The main point that is trying to be put across in the novel is the fact that evil is in everyone and no-one can escape this. The ending helps to portray this statement for the last time. The novel starts off by suggesting that, 'This is a good island. We-Jack, Simon and me-we climbed the mountain. It's wizard. There's food and drink and-' There are many references at the beginning of the novel where it is said to be the next treasure island, made of total perfection. The book can be compared to the garden of Eden at the start because they think it is a wonderful place, just like paradise. Golding uses mythic references to keep us thinking throughout the novel. The novel then delves into the idea of this being ironic because as we see it is not perfect at all. Looking at the first paragraph we can see many changes the island has already undergone and how the novel suggests, subtly, how the crisis has started.
