In this epic story by British writer William Golding, a group of children get stranded on a lonely island. Very soon, free from the shackles of adult society, they end up reproducing the exact same social schemas as before (disproving the concept of the "noble savage"), only in a more violent way due to the lack of laws and government. Athletic, confident and charismatic children become the bosses again, weak and fat ones are still bullied or ignored into irrelevance no matter how smart they may be. There aren't any girls on the island, but it isn't hard to imagine which boys would have gained access to their coveted holes and which boys would have been killed in the "sex wars".
"Piggy" is the stereotypical incel. In the first chapters, this myopic and asthmatic fattie, ridiculed and betrayed by everyone despite his superior intellect, is obsessed with the "conch", a big shell that supposedly bestows upon its holder the right to speak in a public assembly. In reality, it is a mere gimmick often ignored by the actual ruling class, a ruling class established on genetic and athletic superiority rather than law and custom, and Piggy finds to his dismay that the conch isn't as powerful as he would have liked. Incels obsessed with "restoring the patriarchy" should take heed.
Golding was inspired by his experience as a school teacher when writing the book. In the introduction, he writes that evil is contained in our genes and not in any social system.
Too lazy to continue this essay but basically read it/watch the movie it's great
