A Study of Repetitions in Lord of the flies from the Perspective of Miller's Repetition Theory
The repetitions in Lord of the Flies are the keys to exploring the thematic connotation and meaning of the novel.From a microscopic point of view,repetitive images appear in the form of metaphors,such as"Lord of the Flies"symbolizing the evil of human nature;from a mesoscopic point of view,the characters and events reproduce the classic archetypes,such as Simo's archetype of Jesus as a martyr for the truth;from a macroscopic point of view,Lord of the Flies is an innovative development of the theme of Desert Island Literature by exploring the good and evil of human nature.Therefore,the repetitions reveal the thematic meaning of"human nature is well versed in evil".
