Insecurity
William Golding utilizes fear as a sort of factor in the Lord of the Flies novel to show how the boys are willing to do anything to get a sense of security. Not only is this behavior visible in the novel itself, it can apply to different things in the real world. The main factor in how insecurity ties in well with fear in the novel is the many things the boys in the novel had feared. Given how the boys had great fears, they had to remain cautious so as to not get hurt trying to stay away from their fear.
Insecurity ties in with the fear of the unknown as with the fear of the unknown. With someone having a fear for something they don't even know, they would tend to have an instinct to stay alert, they would have to try to stay secure as much as possible to not interact with their unknown fear. The boys in the island has so much to fear, a "beast," not getting home, dying on the island, or fearing their loss of innocence.
The main fear the boys had that had been prominent through the novel had been the "beastie." The fear started from a small boy who had claimed on seeing a beast, but the claim had been spread around the boys, sending shivers down the boys' spine and diversifying into a beast that emerges from the ocean to one that roams around the sky. The boys stayed cautious of these made up beasts that the boys fear in order to stay safe.
Even though Jack had claimed that he had roamed all around the island saying that there is no beast, the boys were still cautious of a potential threat. The downright fear of a potential threat were one of the reasons why so many boys had joined Jack's tribe, Jack had promised protection from a potential threat, people would have to join Jack's tribe in order to stay safe from a threat. This sort of behavior exists in real life. In the presence of an unknown fear, people would have to stay safe as much as possible so as to not interact with the fear so they do not get hurt.
