There are so many similarities between Lord of the Flies and the series Lost.  

"Both stories explore themes that question the true nature of Man.  Lord of the Flies depicts savage behavior of young boys (juxtaposed to adults engaged in global war) to illustrate the author's views about human nature.  Lost uses the theme of "Tabula Rasa" (the idea that humans are born with a 'Clean Slate') and the dialogue between Jacob and his brother in the opening scene of the Season 5 finale also seems to hint at some underlying conflict over the nature of people. Lost also brings up baptism which is a Christian tradition that deals with Original Sin: the idea that humans are born with innate evil that must be washed away due to Adam and Eve eating the fruit from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden as described in the book of Genesis."     ~LOSTpedia
