| dc.description.abstract | The following research is a study of morality and immorality in William Golding's Lord of the Flies and Christopher Marlow's Dr. Faustus. Although a number of critics, inspired mainly by the ideologies of psychoanalysis and the notions allied to it have very often studied Lord of the Flies and Dr Faustus, no full-length study investigated morality as common theme in both works. Dwelling on the concepts of psychoanalysis, those research works helped us to operate our research. At the basis of the research is a belief that human nature is changing instead of being fixed and stable as claimed by some philosophers. Our research is also based on a number of assumptions. The first assumption is that moral and immoral aspects hold their firm ground in both works. The second assumption is that the Id, the Ego and Superego parts of the mind contribute to the human's mental and psychological functioning meanwhile influencing the individual's understanding of morality and immorality. The third assumption is that the human conduct is equally dictated by the social forces as well as environmental circumstances. The other point is that the similarities in the social and cultural backgrounds of the two writers make us assume that more similarities that differences may come out in our analysis. | ar |
