The issue of environment is a constant concern of nations. Protecting the Protect the environment and keeping safe is the daily concern of many people. Many writers address the issue as the main theme of their work. Still the problem of it protection seems unsolved. William Golding in The Lord of the Flies has made it one of his work concerns. In novel under study the characters are stuck on a tropical island. The weather is not as favorable as it could be for them. It is hot and humid, with periodic storms and torrential rainfall, as is typical of a tropical island. The environment dictated its law to them. It has been used as a tool of exercising violent and savagery acts. Golding argues that human nature, free from the constraints of society, draws people away from reason toward savagery. The main objective of the current research is to try to apprehend the issues of environment portrayed from the beginning to the end of the novel. New criticism has been used to find out some of the reasons why Golding wrote the novel and his portrayal of the negative impacts of the characters' interactions on the isolated and hostile island.
