The Components of the Analysis (Setting, Narrative Methods, Plot Structure, Conflict) as Part of the Interpretation of the Literary Text in the Novel by W. Golding “Lord of the Flies”
The paper focuses on the basic details of the components of the literary text analysis i.e. setting, narrative methods, plot structure and conflict through a case study of the extract of the novel by W. Golding “Lord of the Flies”. The objective of the study is to analyze the extract of the literary work, for it can serve as a model for linguistic and stylistic analysis of the text in practical classes and represent a teaching technique guide both for a teacher and a student on the one hand, as well as to build relevant professional skills having a limited number of academic hours of the lecture course on the other. The aim of the research is to analyze and interpret the components under discussion, whereby the authors set the task of carrying out a comprehensive analysis of all the components which will finally enable to express the idea of the extract accurately. The authors point out that the analysis and the idea of the extract is narrowed down and is different from the analysis and the idea of the whole literary work. The main methods of research are the methods of contextual and stylistic analysis. As a result of the conducted inquiry the authors confirm the previously stated hypothesis that the absence of social boundaries brings out the real nature of a person and often betrays the inhumane facet of a personality.
