William Golding's first novel, Lord of the Flies, 1954 - quickly became a global success and has remained so to this day. (W. Golding, Pres. Sp. 1983)
His optimism was similar to that of other utopians, for example H.G. Wells. The Second World War changed his attitude. He discovered what one man can really do to another! . . . There were atrocities committed with cold, professional skill by well-educated and cultured people - doctors, lawyers and those with a long tradition of high civilization behind them. They committed their crimes on their own kind! ... It is the malice in man that creates evil systems or turns what is or could be good from the beginning into something unjust and destructive ... There is a strong religious dimension in W. Golding's worldview, although it is rooted in common sense! ... The aggressive intelligence, the power-hungry self-assertion and the arrogant individualism are the source of evil and violence - both individual and societal violence! ... According to him, man has two qualities - the capacity for murder is one, faith in God is the other! Innocence is not completely lost...
The novel can be seen as a description of hell or purgatory here on earth. The champions of evil appear with almost devilish features in the form of 2 beautiful girls driven by a passion for its own sake ... Darkness Visible, 1979, is a dualistic book. One is tempted to say a mythical illustration of a Manichaean philosophy in which good and evil are two independent forces of life. (W. Golding, Press Release 1983)
