Explanation:

"The Lord of the Flies" is a novel written by William Golding that deals with government, social organization and power through the story of a group of kids who have to survive by themselves in an island after an airplane crash. One of the themes in this story is that human will break the rules or go beyond the limits of what is considered as right if there is no authority that enforces law or rules. In this novel there are multiple examples about this as one of the kids called Jack takes the control and commits  abuses regarding power, one of this is when Jack decides to steal the glasses of Piggy who is another character, this action shows Jack knows he can do whatever he wants, even if it is morally wrong because there is no authority to punish him or stop him. This situation is connected to the them that "without anyone to enforce the rules, man will break them", because it exemplifies how humans can behave is there is no one to enforce the rules as this is the situation in "The Lord of the Flies" and because of this Jack is able to break moral and social principles.
