L’autore
William Golding (1911–1993), è stato uno scrittore britannico e premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1983. La sua esperienza nella Seconda guerra mondiale influenzò profondamente la sua visione della natura umana.
Trama generale (senza spoiler)
Il signore delle mosche racconta la storia di un gruppo di ragazzi britannici che, in seguito a un disastro aereo, si ritrovano su un’isola deserta senza adulti. Inizialmente cercano di costruire una società ordinata e democratica, ma presto le dinamiche di potere, la paura e l’istinto di sopravvivenza degenerano in violenza e caos.
La narrazione segue il lento ma inesorabile passaggio dalla civiltà alla barbarie, rivelando il lato oscuro dell’animo umano.
Punti di forza del romanzo
1. Simbolismo potente
Ogni elemento del romanzo ha un significato profondo:
L’isola è un microcosmo del mondo.
Il conchiglione simboleggia la legge e l’ordine.
Il “Signore delle mosche” è la personificazione del male interiore.
I personaggi rappresentano aspetti diversi della società e della psiche umana.
2. Analisi della natura umana
Golding ci pone una domanda inquietante: cosa succede quando non ci sono regole? Il romanzo non dà risposte semplici, ma ci costringe a riflettere sul male, che non viene dall’esterno, ma nasce dall’interno di ciascuno di noi.
3. Scrittura evocativa
Lo stile è semplice ma denso di significati. Le descrizioni dell’isola sono suggestive, quasi poetiche, ma il tono si fa via via più cupo man mano che la storia evolve.
4. Attualità e universalità
Anche se ambientato in un contesto lontano (anni ’50), il romanzo è terribilmente attuale: parla di bullismo, paura, manipolazione, potere, perdita dell’innocenza. Può essere letto come una metafora della società moderna e dei suoi meccanismi distruttivi.
Chi è il Signore delle Mosche?
Nel racconto, il “Signore delle Mosche” è una testa di maiale infilzata su un bastone, lasciata dai ragazzi-cacciatori come offerta alla “bestia” che temono sull’isola.
La testa viene posta in una radura, sotto il sole, circondata da insetti che ronzano attorno alla carne in decomposizione: da qui il nome “Signore delle Mosche” (traduzione del termine Beelzebub, uno dei nomi biblici del diavolo).
Il suo significato simbolico
Il Signore delle Mosche non è un personaggio vivente, ma un simbolo del male interiore. Quando Simon, uno dei ragazzi più sensibili e intuitivi, si trova da solo davanti alla testa, ha un’allucinazione in cui la testa “gli parla”.
In questo dialogo immaginario, il Signore delle Mosche gli dice qualcosa di spaventoso: “Io sono parte di te. Non puoi scacciarmi. Io sono dentro di te.”
Questo momento è cruciale: Golding ci dice che la vera bestia non è fuori, non è un mostro nascosto nella giungla, ma è dentro i ragazzi stessi, dentro ogni essere umano.
Spiegazione psicologica de Il signore delle mosche
Il signore delle mosche non è solo un romanzo d’avventura: è uno studio psicologico sull’essere umano, in particolare sui meccanismi interiori che regolano il comportamento in assenza di regole sociali.
Golding, che fu insegnante e partecipò alla Seconda guerra mondiale, ci propone una riflessione cruda: la civiltà è una maschera sottile, e il male non è un’eccezione ma una possibilità interna a ciascuno.
1. Lotta tra Es, Io e Super-Io (Freud)
La dinamica tra i tre personaggi principali può essere letta in chiave freudiana:
Jack = Es → rappresenta l’istinto primitivo, il desiderio, l’aggressività, il bisogno di dominio e potere. Vive secondo il principio del piacere, senza rispetto per le regole.
Ralph = Io → cerca di mediare tra le esigenze della civiltà e le pressioni istintive. Vuole mantenere l’ordine e la razionalità, ma è costantemente sotto pressione.
Piggy = Super-Io → rappresenta la coscienza morale, le regole, la logica. È debole fisicamente, ma simbolicamente è il più vicino alla razionalità e alla cultura.
In questo senso, l’isola è come una mente umana e il romanzo descrive la disintegrazione psichica dell’equilibrio tra forze interne.
2. La teoria dell’identità sociale (Tajfel & Turner)
Quando i ragazzi si dividono in gruppi (quelli di Ralph vs i cacciatori di Jack), entrano in gioco meccanismi di identità sociale:
In-group vs out-group: il gruppo dei cacciatori si percepisce superiore, sviluppando ostilità verso gli altri.
De-individuazione: indossando maschere, i ragazzi perdono la loro identità personale e diventano parte del branco, facilitando la violenza.
3. La perdita dell’innocenza
Il romanzo mostra il passaggio dall’infanzia alla brutalità, ma non come crescita: piuttosto come corruzione dell’innocenza. La psicologia dello sviluppo ci insegna che i bambini interiorizzano le regole sociali attraverso modelli adulti. In assenza di adulti, i bambini tornano a comportamenti primitivi, guidati dalla paura e dalla sopravvivenza.
4. Il ruolo della paura
La paura del “mostro” (la “bestia”) è una proiezione: non è reale, ma frutto dell’immaginazione. Tuttavia, ha effetti molto reali. In psicologia questo si lega al concetto di proiezione (meccanismo di difesa): i ragazzi proiettano il male dentro di loro su un’entità esterna, per non affrontare la realtà più spaventosa: il male è dentro di loro.
5. Il concetto di ombra (Jung)
Secondo Jung, ogni essere umano ha un lato nascosto, “l’ombra”, che contiene pulsioni represse, desideri inaccettabili, rabbia, paura. Jack e il “Signore delle Mosche” rappresentano proprio questa ombra collettiva: l’istinto animale che emerge quando la coscienza (civiltà) cede.
6. Comportamento collettivo e contagio emotivo (Le Bon)
Golding anticipa le teorie della psicologia sociale sul comportamento collettivo:
Nelle folle (o gruppi ristretti in isolamento), le persone possono perdere inibizioni e comportarsi in modo irrazionale e violento.
Il gruppo diventa dominante e l’individuo si annulla → contagio emotivo e de-responsabilizzazione.
Conclusione psicologica
Il romanzo mostra come le strutture psicologiche e sociali crollino in assenza di regole e controllo. È un monito su quanto il male non sia un’eccezione, ma una possibilità latente in ogni essere umano.
Riflessione personale
Il signore delle mosche è un libro che lascia il segno. All’inizio può sembrare una semplice avventura, ma pagina dopo pagina ci si rende conto che si sta assistendo a una discesa nella parte più oscura dell’animo umano. È un testo duro, talvolta disturbante, ma proprio per questo necessario.
Mi ha colpito in particolare come i bambini, che dovrebbero incarnare la purezza, siano in realtà capaci di crudeltà e sopraffazione. Il romanzo ci mette di fronte a una realtà scomoda: la civiltà è fragile, e basta poco per far emergere l’istinto animale che si nasconde dentro di noi.
Un classico che ogni adolescente e adulto dovrebbe leggere almeno una volta nella vita. Non solo per la bellezza della scrittura, ma per il messaggio profondo che ci obbliga a guardarci dentro.

Police arrest 474 people at protest over Palestine Action ban in London
Amnesty International called the mass arrests “deeply concerning”.“The protesters in Parliament Square were not inciting violence and it is entirely disproportionate to the point of absurdity to be treating them as terrorists,” said Sacha Deshmukh, the organisation’s chief executive.
“We have long criticised UK terrorism law for being excessively broad and vaguely worded and a threat to freedom of expression. These arrests demonstrate that our concerns were justified.”

I don't understand what those two passages are supposed to represent that is happening now.
I thrift a lot of books for crafts as well. Most recently I made a tiny bookshelf and populated it with thumbprint-sized books. I made those by cutting up the yellowest books real tiny and then rebinding them. Anyway, Goodwill really is full of these books. A couple sets from me, even.

OK, cool. That definitely helps things.
I think where we're disagreeing is that I think in a capitalist society the promise of money will inevitably corrupt the government (because it's made of people). Maybe it can be avoided if the government performs additional regulatory action to stop anyone from getting too wealthy, but that sounds like beyond the limits that you want to set for government.
There's no need for the government to prevent people from becoming wealthy.
The only ways to become that wealthy all involve monopolies.
But every single monopoly that has ever existed, has only managed to become a monopoly due to help from allies in government. AKA Regulatory Capture.
When governments are large, and filled with bureaucrats that aren't answerable to the public, monopolies are far more likely to emerge, as those same bureaucrats enact more and more regulations that make entering the market more and more difficult for those of modest to little means.
I would throw in the argument that the pace at which innovation happens is fostered by competition.
That's not the only motivation, of course. There's curiosity, passions, social movements, etc. But market pressure seems to be a huge driver.
It's generally not true. What is true is that every single person in a society organized to kill you through neglect is motivated to find some way to making a lot of money and escaping their plight. The way you do this in a capitalist society is you make some rich people much richer. So you try to come up with ways to make them richer.
Sometimes that means solving problems that the masses will pay you for, if only you could scale it (investors show up to scale it, take 70% of the value, you become a millionaire).
Sometimes that means solving a problem for industry that reduces their costs, if I only you could overcome the upfront costs (investors show up to build it, take 70% of the value, you become a millionaire).
However, what people who have never done this don't realize is that the real problem being solved is the problem of making rich people more money. Literally anything that makes them richer will get there investment, regardless of it solves social problems or creates social problems. Inversely, if you solve social problems for the masses but it can't make the rich richer, then your solution never gets any traction.
The selection criteria is fundamentally whether or not it makes the rich richer. That's why in the US such a massive percentage of GDP is artificial markets - copyrighted art and media, digital rights management, digital locks on tractors and machinery, digital locks on printer ink and Keurig cups - or total wastes of time - billions in rebranding, billions in consulting to merge and then divest - or in terribly damaging social engineering - billions in pink taxes, boys vs girls branding, manipulating beauty standards, manipulating children, sugary cereals, endless plastic toys, chemical engineering to create food cravings and suppress satiety, etc.
So yes, competition creates a frenzy of activity, but the activity is poorly directed, often negative value, innovative and novel ways to harm people, and ultimately not geared towards anything useful.
Meanwhile, look at socialism and compare where it actually matters - the Soviets dominated space exploration compared to the West. During COVID, the US spent billions racing for a vaccine and Cuba developed one on the same timeline without the massive grift while under the most brutal and long-term collective punishment regime in the history of the world.
At the end of the day, purposeful, intentional, directed effort will always beat the mass chaos of random actors all frenzily trying to save themselves out of desperation.

Should we switch the default privacy community from !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com to !privacy@programming.dev ?
Hello everyone,
I raised the point recently already, but to make it short
- there is an active poster on !privacy@programming.dev
- !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is mostly me and @cm0002@lemmy.world
- I think it would be beneficial to consolidate on one community rather than crosspost content from one to the other
I tried to reach out to the active poster, who posted to the lemmy.dbzer0 community in the past before switching back to programming.dev, and I guess they disagree with some of the stances of dbzer0 (probably the pro AI one)
Programming.dev has a few hiccups from time to time, but for a few months it has been stable
What do people think?
Not an active poster, but when I do post in privacy community it's !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com simply because programming.dev is loose with defederation. While I don't agree with certain instances political ideology something like privacy communities reach being limited because of it makes no sense.
I'll echo what others have said though that this will get resolved with multi-community support which was funded by NLnet grant. While consolidating now might seem like a good idea to help community growth, I think it's more damaging longer term than waiting for technical solution.
