Golding infuses the atmosphere at the beginning of chapter 9 with a sense of menace and impending danger. Check out the dark tone and atmosphere in the opening lines of the chapter,
Over the island the build-up of clouds continued. A steady current of heated air rose all day from the mountain and was thrust to ten thousand feet; revolving masses of gas piled up the static until the air was ready to explode. By early evening the sun had gone and a brassy glare had taken the place of clear daylight. Even the air that pushed in from the sea was hot and held no refreshment. ch 9
