This investigates whether there are biblical parallels in William Golding’s The Spire and The Lord of the flies and if so how they are achieved and what do they add to the book. I have examined the texts in great depth to detect the sometimes incredibly subtle religious connotations and linked them with religious motifs and sometimes even specific characters and stories from the Bible. Once I had detected these biblical parallels I then set about exploring the additional layers they gave to the book. In The Lord of the Flies the religious parallels were used to provide a stark contrast to the developing evil and in The Spire they help to produce a more complex story.
