Regan and Goneril's behavior is very similar but also very different to the savages in The Lord of the Flies. The difference in Reagan and Goneril's behavior is that their circumstances didn't cause them to be that way. They were just naturally mean and treacherous people toward others to get what they wanted. Both sisters turned on each other because they were selfish and mean and wanted all control for themselves. They wanted to get rid of anyone that was in their way. The things that they did to each other and to the person that they were supposed to care about isn't forgivable. It's not forgivable to poison your sister just because you fear that she's going to take away a man from you that you shouldn't have been with in the first place. It's also not forgivable to give your father an ultimatum and if he doesn't do as you want him to, to kick him out in the cold with no place to go and then plot against so everyone turns away. In The Lord of the Flies, the savages' circumstances made them the way they turned out. The boys didn't choose to be the way that they turned out. They had to adjust to something that was foreign to them and try to survive. Even though they couldn't help the environment that they were in doesn't mean that they had an excuse to treat each other with disdain and hostility. They things that the boys did to Piggy, Simon, and Ralph were unforgivable. Simon and Piggy had no right to be killed; I believe that the boys knew what they were doing when they attacked Simon. It isn't forgivable to kill someone for speaking their mind and letting people know how they feel. They didn't have to listen to the things that Piggy said but it wasn't right to kill him. Overall, it's not right for either Regan, Goneril, or the savages to have killed or harmed any of the people that they hurt because it's not morally right to kill people because you believe they have done you wrong or because they have said things that you may not like or agree with.
