This article examines how personification functions in the translation of The Lord of the Flies. Personification is an important stylistic element that shapes the emotional tone and symbolic meaning of the novel, making its accurate transfer into another language a complex task. The study focuses on the ways translators reproduce or adapt personified images, especially when cultural or linguistic differences limit direct equivalence. It also discusses how translation strategies influence the reader’s understanding of key themes such as fear, isolation, and human nature. The article concludes that successful translation requires not only linguistic accuracy but also sensitivity to the figurative and psychological depth of the original work.
