The novel, "Lord of the Flies," by William Golding, and the Nielsen ratings juggernaut, "Lost," written by J.J. Abrams, Jeffrey Lieber and Damon Lindelof, are similar in several regards. These works portray similar storylines: a caste system of stereotypical characters trapped on an island and in a constant fight for survival. However within these comparable aspects, there is the most important aspect that they struggle most with, the leaders. In the novel, Lord of the Flies, and the film, Lost, the characters each fight and struggle to maintain the balance and order with a leader as the center with the most responsibility, however, these hardships and conflicts lead to self-doubt and internal struggles. .
The characters that play the leader in the film and the novel each struggle to maintain the order to survive, however, the conflicts that happen are inevitable to these leaders. The leader of the group in The Lord of the Flies, Ralph, was able to help his group maintain their humanity, however, the order did not last long because of the different opinions and desires of the boys. Jack was one of the boys in the pack who decided to rebel against Ralph's civilized way of leading. The starting point of these boys' conflicts began when Jack refused to keep an eye on the signal fire and instead, go hunting with the boys. In the novel, Jack says, "The fire's been out an hour or two. We can light up again." (page 70) This marked the beginning of Jack's rebellious behavior, which later on impacts the way of the boys' survival throughout the novel. On the other hand, the leader of the group in Lost, Jack, also wasn't able to avoid the major conflicts between the group members. Jack also did a decent job of keeping the group together, however, the order started to fall apart when the characters lost their humanity and let the selfishness and the desires to survive overcome them. The beginning of the major conflicts between these people was when Boone decided to steal all the water that was left and kept them for himself.
