Abstract
Pincher Martin , like that of Robinson Crusoe concentrates on the individual realization of the past during his last hour facing death after his ship is torpedoed. Clung on to a rock, out of his sheer desire to survive, he realizes his power of will and self-assertion fails to rescue him, as evil has been manifested within himself. He is a dominant person on the world of eating and killing where his selfish inferno shadows metaphorically the absence of innocence. Golding again highlights the conflict of sinful life and realizes that there are really challenging powers in the world. Golding being a spiritual man brings in the idea that “God” is our everything and he is our refuge and Golding gives a solution God is the thing we turn away from into life, and therefore we hate and fear him and make a darkness there.
