Was known as the father of realism.

Henrik Ibsen was known as the father of realism.

Explanation:

Realism is the artistic movement that deals with the natural issue of things unlike that of the Romantics or the Transcendentalists. They represent the things as they are in reality, with no sugar-coating words, no out-of-the-world expressions in giving descriptions of things or people. They rejected the exotic image given by other authors of different eras, especially that of the romantics who uses a lot of exaggerated words in their work descriptions.

Henrik Ibsen, through his many plays and theater productions, gave a realistic image of things as they are in his time. This led to massive protests, like his play "Ghosts" or "Rhinoceros" which deal with the real life issues of the society. The addressing of the known but yet unaddressed societal issues led to many revolutions, some supporting the issues and some opposing the showing of such issues in public places. His other play "A Doll's House" which deals with the theme of "husband- wife" relationship, the norm of the society confining the wife to the house, and giving of authority to the husband over his wife, the perceived roles of women in being a wife and in motherhood also led to vast criticism from all angles. But this strong yet persistence of Ibsen led to many upcoming authors and writers to follow in his footsteps, thus resulting in the spreading of the "realism" form of literature.

The Lord of The Flies symbolize Simon’s happiness, his peace and calmness with nature, the forest, and the boys and there current situation, how Simon travels to the forest to relax and be calm unlike the other boys who are scared to travel alone in the forest. They show how everything is not evil on the island, and are actually the opposite of the lord of the flies and the boys who act savagely. On page 151 there is a quote that shows how the butterflies try to avoid the evil and travel to a more tranquil and peaceful place, “Even the butterflies deserted the open space where the obscene thing grinned and dripped”. Also this quote shows how the boys are not only becoming more savage and evil, but also their sexual need, "Then Jack found the throat and the hot blood spouted over his hands. The sow collapsed under them and they were heavy and fulfilled upon her. The butterflies still danced, preoccupied in the center of the clearing." The butterflies also symbolize the immortal soul of the island meaning that the island will never die, no matter what the boys do or the world will do it.
