Loss of innocence among explorers from "summary" of To the Ends of the Earth by William Golding
The explorers embarked on their journey with hearts filled with excitement and curiosity. They were eager to discover new lands, meet new people, and experience the thrill of the unknown. Their innocence shielded them from the harsh realities that awaited them beyond the safety of their familiar shores. As they sailed further into uncharted waters, they encountered challenges and obstacles that tested their resolve. The once pristine landscapes they had envisioned were marred by violence, greed, and betrayal. The explorers were forced to confront the darker aspects of human nature that lurked beneath the surface of civilization. With each passing day, their innocence began to erode as they witnessed firsthand the destructive impact of their presence on the lands they had sought to conquer. The once noble quest for knowledge and discovery had devolved into a ruthless quest for power and dominance. The explorers found themselves caught in a web of deceit and treachery, where alliances were forged and broken at the whim of those in power. They struggled to reconcile their ideals with the harsh realities of the world they now inhabited, grappling with the moral dilemmas that arose from their actions. In the end, the explorers emerged from their journey forever changed. The loss of innocence among them was palpable, a heavy burden that weighed upon their souls. They had seen the best and worst of humanity, and in doing so, had lost a part of themselves in the process. The journey to the ends of the earth had cost them more than they could have ever imagined.
