It is evident that William Golding gained insight and concepts through which he applied to his novel, Lord of the Flies, from literature written by Joseph Conrad. Golding’s inspiration came mainly from Conrad’s novella, Heart of Darkness. ... Both contain discrimination in several forms. Throughout Lord of the Flies, Piggy is labeled as an outcast due to his weight, his intelligence and also his glasses. ... Conrad includes discrimination into his novel through the Africans. ...
