In the book The Lord of the Flies, it is mentioned that a curtain flicks in Ralph's mind. Obviously, there is no actual curtain in Ralph's head; the metaphor is describing what he feels like when he loses his train of thought.

The curtain is used as a metaphor. It symbolizes a thin wall between civilization and savagery.
