Universal Themes in Lord of the Flies

Question 2 • VT-FL-FAST-Grade 10 English Language Arts-Reading

Two universal themes in Lord of the Flies are the tension between freedom and responsibility and the conflict between an individual’s desires and the community’s needs. Which statement best describes how these universal themes relate to each other?

Answer
A
They both suggest that no community lasts forever.
B
They both deal with the pressure on individuals to make sacrifices.
C
They both reinforce the idea that individuals can never truly be happy.
D
They both emphasize that individuals are more important than the community.

Explanation

Both themes show that living in a community can require individuals to give up some personal freedom or desires. Responsibility may limit what someone can do, while the community’s needs may conflict with what an individual wants. So both themes involve pressure to make sacrifices, which is why “They both deal with the pressure on individuals to make sacrifices” is the best choice.
