Giordano Bruno Vs Piggy
From the dawn of humanity, to the eras of medieval and renaissance, all the way ourcurrent modern society, and even to the yet to be experiences distant future humanity has alwayshad problems with one natural event...change. In late 16th century, there was an Italianphilosopher by the name of Giordano Bruno who was trying to bring about change in his time'sthinking and beliefs, but naturally, society conflicted what Bruno had to say and would eventuallyeven kill Bruno for his views. It still affects us in our current times as written in the classic work"Lord of the Flies". Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding in 1954, contains a characternamed Piggy who tried to bring about change in boys he was stranded with on an island. Unfortunately, no one would really listen to Piggy. Eventually, he would pay the ultimate pricewith his life while trying to bring common sense into their secluded island world. Throughout ourhuman history we have often demonstrated three reasons why new ideas and change are oftenhalted. Firstly, our belief that who we are and what we know is superior to that which someoneelse believes or says. Secondly, as a society, whether
This is a cruel fate for Piggy whodeserved better than to die from a crashing boulder. Although Piggy was being heard for his ideas he was notalways considered with Ralph and Jack did as they saw fit. He always expressed good, solid ideas and thoughts but often was shot down because someof the boys not liking him. His opposing ideas were always the subject to arguments andpeople trying to shoot them down because what they believed was what they thought was right andwould not allow someone else to change that. She can explain away the case ofGalileo with suave condescension. In the controversial consequences, we find how society will often punish those whotry to change general ideas although there are better ways of handling these situations. "High overhead, Roger, with a senseof delirious abandonment, leaned all his weight on the lever,"4 this short quote happens right beforePiggy is killed by the falling boulder pushed by Roger. It was not Bruno's behaviorbut his opinions that got him into trouble. He would not cooperate or change his views. Howeven when Bruno dropped his heretical views and ideas, (although it was just for his own survival),the people still ended up burning Bruno at the stake shows how even though they got what theywanted, which was Bruno to stop his views, they feared his ideas had already been spread andwithout killing him that his opposing opinions would get even stronger. "5This recap of a period in Bruno's life is about how he often went to a place, caused turmoil byproposing and spreading his views, then flees for fear of his own safety from the controversy hecauses. Piggy's constant attempts to be heard and considered and the suppression of GiordanoBruno's unique thoughts both exemplify how we as a society try to suppress those which aredifferent than us, thus making ourselves feel superior. From boys to society, we act the same and will solve problems asfast as we can, often needing the source to be stopped, and in this case the sources were Bruno andPiggy.
