golding
william golding's 1954 novel "lord of the flies" was written as a counterpoint to (or even a parody of) "the coral island", and golding makes explicit references to it. at the end of the novel, for instance, one of the naval officers who rescues the children mentions the book, commenting on the hunt for one of their number, ralph, as a "jolly good show. like the coral island". jack also makes an appearance in "lord of the flies" as jack merridew, representing the irrational nature of the boys. indeed, golding's three central characters – ralph, piggy and jack – are caricatures of ballantyne's heroes. despite having enjoyed "the coral island" many times as a child, golding strongly disagreed with the views that it espoused, and in contrast "lord of the flies" depicts the english boys as savages themselves, who forget more than they learn, unlike ballantyne's boys. golding described the relationship between the two books by saying that "the coral island" "rotted to compost" in his mind, and in the compost "a new myth put down roots". neither is the idyllic nature of ballantyne's coral island to be found on stevenson's treasure island, which is unsuitable for settlement "but exists merely as a site from which to excavate treasure, a view consistent with the late-victorian imperial mission" according to honaker.
