Lord of the Flies: How the book would change with female characters

Lord of the Flies would have changed a lot of the author would have added female characters to it. There would be a lot more order about the Island. Girls would have most likely devised a plan that worked for everyone and would have stuck to it. If this would have happened there wouldn't be as much conflict in the story, and if that same conflicts didn't happen then some of the themes wouldn't be needed anymore. Another thing that would have caused a problem with having girls in the book would be the attraction between the girls and boys. Which is another reason for the author to leave it out. He probably didn't want to deal with the relationships between them because it wasn't needed for him to get the theme's across. Girl's wouldn't have let the boys make fun of each other and single out the weak which is one of the key factors for when the boys turn on each other. It's a good thing the author didn't put any female characters in the book because most of the theme's and problems wouldn't have happened in the book.
