Lord of the Flies/Aniaml I Have Become

The boys on the island have become monsters, which is caused by man's essential illness, which states all humans contain evil. In 3 Days Grace's "Animal I Have Become", Adam Gontier, the vocalist of 3 Days Grace, sings that even he has " become...this animal" that he "can't control". He continues saying "it's not the real" him and pleas for "somebody [to] help [him] tame this animal". In Lord of the Flies, all the boys, except for Simon, turn into the beast/animal that is created due to evil. Because the boys have become so evil, they cannot control themselves for they don't understand what is right from wrong. Only the boys with conscious, Ralph, Piggy, and the twins, ask to be released from the beast/animal inside them. Like Adam who says that he "can't escape this hell", the boys are trapped and cannot escape off the island. Adam wishes he "could get through this nightmare" like the littluns wanting to stop the nightmares of the beast. Although Adam and the littluns believe that it is a nightmare, the beast/animal is real. Because the animal/beast "still [has] rage inside", it strives for more. Jack is constantly wanting to strive for his wants, and goes with his instinct which is to become leader and to kill. Adam begs for someone to "help [him] believe it's not the real" him. When the boys are rescued, the boys come to their senses and cry because they understand what they have done and their real selves come back.
