William Golding has received a great deal of criticism about his book because of the brutality he portrays and the negative picture he paints of mankind.
As a response to these criticisms, he said in an interview in 1963,
"I learned during WWII just how brutal people can be to each other. Not just Germans or Japanese, but everyone. I tried to point that out.... some have said that the brutality portrayed in my novel is impossible. It´s not. Just look at any newspaper..."
Do you agree or disagree? Is his statement timely for 2009? More or less than it was in 1963?
