Abstract

Lord of the Flies (1954) was best-known for its theme of human nature’s degradation. Accordingly, the description of the nature was often overlooked. This paper will explore the deteriorating relationship between man and nature from the perspective of ecocriticism in order to reveal the final destruction of mankind in the novel in their excessive exploration of nature.
