VERBAL REALIZATION OF THE THEME “LIGHT” IN THE NOVEL “LORD OF THE FLIES” BY WILLIAM GOLDING
Abstract
The name of William Golding became widely known to the general public after the publication of his novel “Lord of the Flies” in 1954. Since then his works have been discussed both in Great Britain and abroad and have aroused a lot of controversial opinions. Philosophical ideas concerning the value of the individual beyond social context never played a noticeable role in the history of the traditional English novel, because analysis of the society surrounding man was always of primary importance. The given article deals with the influence of the genre of a literary work on its vocabulary. We will try to confirm the hypothesis about the genre-determined character of the lexical structure of a literary work. It is plausible to presume that each literary genre has some definite invariant lexical model, which is embodied in a great number of concrete variants, changing with the development of ideas, points of view and human society and consequently, with the evolution of the genre itself.
