    Women were always fighting for their rights and freedom, like the two plays are trying to announce a powerful message.

And yet, this was common practice in the 1600’s, where DNA and fingerprints were not of investigative use yet, and all judges had to go on was he-said-she-said. A jury of supposedly law-upholding, learned citizens

    symbolizes power to the boys, whoever holds the conch has the power to speak his mind, and the one who blows it, Ralph, is the leader. The conch represents civilization, but slowly the importance of the conch starts to disappear as the need for law and order fades away and savagery takes over. The conch to the boys is like the crown to a king. Whoever blows the conch is the one who leads the group.
