Although I would argue that that ‘Lord of the Flies’, one of the names of Beelzebub, the devil, DOES encapsulate the theme of the novel, but in a sideways, more subtle way. The way the boys become dehumanised and thereby evil, is surely the point of the book. Of course, you have to know who Beelzebub is/was to get the full meaning, and as you say, the title is gripping and unsettling.
