Altered Reflections

What is a mask? A concealment from one’s veritable identity? An asylum for which we can take refuge? Or a compelling method in which we can escape being ourselves? For countless years, masks have intrigued us to a point of obsession. Their very presence hints at the probability of an individual’s metamorphosis, yet the seeping enigma behind the screens of these disguises still leave us in bafflement. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, a renowned novel and literary work of the 20th century, the concept of one’s loss of identity is explored as a handful of British boys are stranded on a desolate island, left only to survive on mutual trust and support. Through gradual character development, the boys’ painted faces and lengthened hair slowly diminishes their apperception of civility as the remaining threads of innocence plummet into an unseen grave of inexistence. As the boys strived upon a tentative lifestyle, learning instinctively from their cumulating mistakes, they built up a community of their own along with electing an appropriate leader.
