Lord of the Flies is a microcosm as it is a condensed version of Goldings idea of society.

A microcosm is something that symbolises a larger thing, i.e Simon is a microcosm of purity and goodness whereas Jack is a microcosm of evil and savagery. The Island on the whole is a microcosm of the world and all the characters within it show small parts of society.
