Piggy as a Symbol in Lord of the Flies In the story of Adam and Eve from the Bible, God banishes Adam and Eve from the paradisiacal island for tasting the forbidden fruit, which forces them to learn to be civilized beings. In Lord of the Flies, by Sir William Golding, the group of boys acquire the sweet taste of the “forbidden fruit” (no civilization) and spiral down to a hellish anarchy.
