Lord of the flies (man inherintly evil)

            
             "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!"(152) The kids dance around a slaughtered mother pig. The kids now excitedly spilling the pig's intestines on the ground and rubbing the blood on each others faces. Does this seem like something normal kids would do? No it is not because there would be a parent or higher authority around to tell them otherwise. In the book "Lord of the Flies" when all authority is taken out of the picture the kids are free to do whatever they feel, this is when their true evilness is exposed. This is why I think that it is easy to see that the true nature of man is evil.
             Some Reasons that I think man is naturally evil is because when all authority figures are taken out and man is free to do whatever he feels it is easy to see man is evil. The environment and persons surroundings are also what contribute to mans evilness. A person tends to adapt to his surroundings and if his surroundings are negative he will probably react negatively due to his surroundings. Another reason man is naturally evil is because of his desire for leadership/power. Humans are constantly fighting to be the best and to be the wealthiest, this desire could result in violence.
             When man is away from any authorities and/or anyone that will restrict them from doing wrong things their true evil nature is shown. This quote from the book "Lord of the Flies" supports my thought. "Nobody killed, I hope? Any dead bodies?" "only two. And they've gone." The officer looked closely at Ralph "two? Killed?"(201) The officer is very surprised to hear that someone has been killed because he thought that little British boys would have known better and would've been able to endure more. Both the .
             deaths on the island were caused by carelessness by the kids. If the kids would have taken more responsibility and if they would have had a good authority figure (chief) there would have been more order on the island and those two killed kids would still be alive.
