Treasure Island influenced Lord of the Flies

Golding drew on the familiar conventions of the classic island adventure story, only to subvert them.

• A remote tropical island serves as the primary setting.
• Young protagonists explore and survive in an isolated environment.
• The island functions as a self-contained world removed from civilization.
• Adventure and exploration are transformed into psychological and moral conflict.
• The romantic image of island adventure is deliberately deconstructed.
