Lord of the Flies
William Golding’s book comes to life
Like many of you, I had to study Lord of the Flies in my days before high school. Golding’s gritty coming-of-age novel follows a group of young men who survive a plane crash and take refuge on a deserted island. Without any adults, the boys are left to fend for themselves while trying to establish a sense of order and democracy. Peace quickly turns to rebellion as the boys slowly descend into madness.
I couldn’t think of a better writer to match Lord of the Flies more so than Jack Thorne, one of the geniuses behind it Netflix’s Adolescence. Thorne captures a boy’s loss of innocence on his difficult journey from childhood to young adulthood. From the same topics Adolescence goes inside Lord of the FliesA stunning adaptation that does Golding’s work justice.
All four episodes Lord of the Flies there is now streaming on Netflix.
