LOTF women on the island?

       If there were women or girls in Lord of the Flies, there would have been many changes. Golding would have had to make vast differences to the entire plot of the story. One can’t necessarily assume a female would lessen the amount of violence, because that would be completely dependent of the individual themselves. However, William Golding would have had to change some of the conflicts that came up in the story. For example, having only one female on the island with the boys could potentially cause jealousy and inequality. I think the author intentionally left women out of the story because it may have restricted the free feeling the boys had between one another. It would have been unrealistic if the boys had started swimming naked in front of another similarly-aged girl that they more likely than not, had never met before.
