ESSAY ON: William Golding/Darkness Visible

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page analysis of Golding's novel. William Golding's 1979 novel Darkness Visible, like his previous work Lord of the Flies, is extremely complex, offering an integrate narrative fabric that highlights the ambiguity of moral issues, as well as the problem of making moral judgements and how this serves to establish barriers that isolate people from one another. The novel's protagonists live at opposite ends of the spiritual spectrum, yet each seem to affect the world around them in extraordinary ways. Matty, who is deformed from a terrible burn, achieves spiritual transcendence and the beautiful Sophy employs her power by being increasingly sadistic. While this sounds as if Golding presents good and evil as polar opposites, the novel works to obliterate such distinctions and to demonstrate that good and evil are interdependent. No additional sources cited.
