The Island
And the Mountain
Later on the mountain only represents despair and savagery because of the unorthodox murder and loss of civilization among the group.
The start of the book presents the mountain as a symbol of hope and refuge due to its enormity and higher chance of being seen by passing ships.
The Mountain
(Goulding, 44)
"we've been on the mountian top and seen water all round"
eventually could be seen as nothing more than a sinking boat because the boys destroyed everything so it was going nowhere and they were not getting rescued.
The island takes up the shape of a boat which ironically was the thing the boys needed for rescue. It symbolized hope and prosperity early on.
The Island
(Goulding, 26)
"it was roughly boat-shaped''
