What is the intended audience of the lord of the flies?

Answer 1

Lord of the Flies was most likely originally targeted for adults. Today however, it is read by mostly young adults in High school.

Answer 2

I would definitely say that the intended audience is one of an older generation who might understand. I believe that the author is trying to warn society that rules are established to keep savagery at bay and through this book a warning is conveyed to the readers.
