POSTMODERN TRANSFORMATIONS OF WILLIAM GOLDING'S “LORD OF THE FLIES”

Abstract

The middle of the 20th century is defined by a number of new political, social, philosophical, and literary phenomena, where one of the leading places still belongs to postmodernism. Modern modernization processes affected its characteristic features, outlining the next stage of literary and cultural development. Rejecting any unification forms, this rather complex and multi-meaning aesthetic phenomenon professes diversity at the plot, compositional, and image levels. Postmodernism can resort to any synthesis form, and the choice of means of aesthetic influence on the reader is practically unlimited.
