| description | The objective of this study is to prove that the absence of society restraints can cause the
falling of civilization instinct and leading people to act according to their primitive
instincts. The object of the study is William Golding�s Lord of the Flies, which is chosen
to be analyzed because it has been regarded as a classic literature worthy of in-depth
analysis around the world that it is awarded with Nobel Prize for Literature on 1983. Its
dramatizing story illustrates the human condition in the world of today in which it brings in
the topic of civilizing and barbarizing instinct. In order to answer the objective, the
researcher conducted the analysis using Sigmund Freud�s theory of Id, Ego and Superego.
The theory is used to see the main characters� changing psychological, namely Jack, Ralph
and Simon who illustrates the conflict of civilization and savagery. The researcher found
the conflicts between civilization and savagery which are related to the absence of society
restraints. The findings thus clarify that the society, especially parental agency plays a
significant role to suppress the instinctual drives and construct a mentally healthy, civilized
man.
