Islands are strange places. In literature, they serve as the setting for struggles for survival; in world politics, they cause a stir by going it alone. Islands are retreats for loners, the outcasts and oddballs. Thomas Morus designed his utopia on an island in order to conceive of a better world. In "Lord of the Flies," the island serves as a lawless space that brings out only the worst in people. People used to banish unpleasant people to islands because islands were secluded places. Like a prison, in 1788 the British established penal colonies on the Australian continent. The island is ambivalent.
