Abstract: For thousands of years, people have been arguing about human nature and come to many different judgments. Some people support that human nature is good, while others hold the opposite attitude and think that human nature is evil. After reading Golding's Lord of the Flies, I agree with the latter. Understanding the dark side of human nature is an important process of human self-cognition. It is not terrible to realize the darkness of human nature. What is terrible is to deceive oneself and not dare to face yourself.
