When I was in English class in High School, 63 or 64, we read Lord of the Flies.
Our teacher expounded on the meanings and interpretations and we had to write an essay reflecting her views.
I found a quote by William Golding and included it in my essay:
William Golding came to dislike Lord of the Flies: "boring and crude. The language is O-level stuff" was his verdict.
And, he added that there was no hidden symbolism. Just an attempt by teachers to add a moral.
Needless to say, the teacher told me to re-write the essay in order to get a passing grade.
Still remember that lesson.
