Abstract: Wirtiam Golding as a novelist is unique among the contemporaries of
sOs and he continues to be one of the most popular novelists in the present
century for his consistent argument with human values. Golding is termed as
allegorical novelist, fabulist, anthropologist of imagination and a myth maker'
The present paper seeks to find the fabulist as myth maker- A detailed survey of
his fiction shows that he is deeply concerned with the moral chaos and vacuum
of his time. ln faith, he is neither a puritan nor a transcendentalist- His religion
is based upon the interpretation of his own experience of lifetime 'His novels
deal with the basic questions of life, and its goal in a universe of cosmic chaos'
. He has dealt with the depravity of man and 'cares d*eply about the condition of
human life, and shows great compassion for men who suffer and men who sin
