THE VOID AND THE METAPHORS - YASUNORI SUGIMURA ...

This book aims to revise the traditional interpretation of William Golding¿s fiction. The
author investigates Golding¿s complicated metaphors which fluctuate so widely as to make
consistent readings almost impossible. The study reveals that these fluctuating metaphors are
created around a void  which is depicted not only as a gap but also as an impenetrable dark
spot  or a counter-gaze. The characters in Golding¿s fiction endeavour to symbolise the void 
but it ultimately resists symbolisation. Mainly from the perspective of semiotics 
psychoanalysis  and philosophy  the book looks at the way in which the elements excluded from
the symbolic system react against it and leave this void. The author then focuses on the void¿s
significance in the creation of unique metaphors.
