The ship that the children see in the William Golding
novel Lord of the Flies symbolizes at least two different things.
First, it symbolizes survival. A ship would be the boys' only way off the island, so it
is important that the boys keep a signal fire burning at all times as a marker in hopes
of rescue. Secondly, the ship symbolizes the outside world, the civilized world to which
the boys hope to eventually return. It also serves as a reminder of the war that is
going on outside the boys' island world.
