Golding was a "lying, grumpy old git." Why the hate for Golding? I still think this Guardian writer presents a pollyanna view of humanity. We all know kids in a schoolyard are a bit more like the brats in Golding's book. I'm also trying to discern if these boys were Tongan or British colonials? Native Tongans are more socially communal than Brits. I don't hate Golding. I just happen to think that he was a lying, grumpy old git. I think the boys were Tongans. I have met Tongans who were anti social arseholes and Brits (particularly me) who are the most affable people you could ever hope to meet. It is just the luck of the draw.
