This article investigates the use of symbolism and allegory in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies through the prism of parallel corpus analysis. While the novel has traditionally been examined through moral, psychological, and philosophical lenses, this study introduces a corpus-informed perspective to explore how symbolic meanings are linguistically constructed and reinforced across different textual realizations. By comparing selected passages from the original English text with parallel translated versions, the research identifies recurrent lexical patterns and metaphorical structures associated with key symbols such as the conch, the fire, and the Beast. The findings demonstrate that symbolism in Lord of the Flies is not only thematic but also deeply embedded in recurrent linguistic choices, which strengthens the novel’s allegorical representation of civilization, power, and human nature.
