I think it's a takedown of boys that have been placed in different circumstances and a number of group of boys would have done something differently, you know, depending on where they're from, you know, but the point is the history, not the necessarily the class makeup.
Do you think that's true?
Or do you recognize that there are things in the fact that this is a public school that you can see play out amongst these kids?
I went to Radley.
Which is quite a public, public school.
It's a very public, public, it's a very, Radley School for Boys, very public, public school.
And did you watch other kids fade?
And were there years when the top years were dominated by Jacks and there were years when they were dominated by Ralphs?
But if your group of 20 had been sent because you would have been a leader...
you might have been a Ralph, and so you might have made friends with the other Ralph, and it might have been a harmonious island.
And the thing is, I think why the differences... But equally what could have happened is someone could have just got lint sprayed on them and then burnt to death.
The interesting thing is that the real rotten apple is Roger.
Would Roger have been given the opportunity to have the power he had if it wasn't for Jack?
And is Jack half rotten, half fresh?
That's what makes the book interesting.
It's not about one rotten apple.
It's actually about apples that are all a bit different.
And the one that you would think as the most dangerous needs to be given his spurs by someone who's perhaps not as dangerous.
It was Lord of the Flies.
That was it.
