Sir William Gerald Golding, a brilliant man with a very diverse background, often used christian symbolism and other forms of symbolism in his work. Using christian symbolism is one of the many things that made William Golding so well-known across the world. His usage of allusions made him a very diverse author whose originality has been praised for years. Golding's often allegorical fiction makes broad use of allusions to classical literature, mythology, and Christian symbolism. Although no distinct thread unites his novels and his technique varies, Golding deals principally with evil and emerges with what has been characterized as a kind of dark optimism. As a prominent English novelist, He used many different forms of allusions and symbolism in his work (Dick 81) Golding's first novel, Lord of the Flies (which was written directly after Golding returned home from World War II), introduced one of the recurrent themes of his fiction--the conflict between humanity's innate barbarism and the civilizing influence of reason.
