    Eduncle Best Answer

    William Golding's Lord of the Flies was published in 1954. The book focuses on a group of British boys stranded on an uninhibited land and their disastrous attempt to govern themselves.
    In Chapter 9, the boys are overwhelmed with the hunting game that indicates their innate lust for blood. The chant (Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood), becomes part of a ritual chanting with which they pursue the prey to hunt. Roger becomes the game's first victim, and he is hurt by the other boys when they prod at him while uttering the chant. The extent of their innate savagery is displayed to its fullest when they, with the other boys, kill Simon on the beach.
