Quick snapshots of novels I have been studying



Lord of the flies:
The hunters have masks. They used the masks as a cover and excuse to indulge in their desires. It is an extremely decisive factor that caused the breach of the civilization. In the modern society, the same concept is or was used by some governments, such as Hitler and Chinese communist party. They have heart-stirring slogans and high-sounding contribution, but the fact that they could not destroy is always foul. Thus, it can be seen that the greatest threaten to human is not the evil that we are able to see or feel, but it is the evil under the mask of hypocrisy. The greatest enemy that stands in your way of advancement is yourself. The greatest enemy that stands in the way of advancement of culture is the culture itself. The reason, which caused this, is the lack of the acquaintanceship of the original evil that generally exists within people. This is the enemy that we have to fight with until death.

Macbeth:
Blood is a major symbol in Macbeth. Once Macbeth stabs his dagger into Duncan’s chest, the blood comes to symbolize Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s guilt that cannot be washed clean. Macbeth cried after he murdered Duncan. Washing off the blood from their hands does not change the fact that they killed their king. The blood permanently stains on their hand and the guilt hunted them to death.
