Abstract (2. Language): 
Like all of Golding's novels Darkness Visible is concerned with the ambiguity of moral issues, the difficulty of judgement and of breaking down the partitions that isolate men and prevent them from feeling a sense of community. Golding employs mythic, fabular and allegorical modes to convey his insight about human nature. The novel destroys the binary opposition assumed to exist between good and evil, shows that they are interdependent, the one incapable of existing without the other. The setting is England of the last forty years, standing for the hell of contemporary western society. Matty and Sophy, the main characters, seem to live in a spiritual dimension, but at the opposite ends of it.

Abstract (Original Language): 
William Golding'in bütün romanları gibi Darkness Visible da ahlaksal konuların muğlaklığı, insanları yargılamanın ve insanları birbirinden ayıran ve toplum duygusu hissetmelerini engelleyen duvarları ortadan kaldırmanın zorluğu ile ilgilidir. Golding insanın doğası ile ilgili içgörüsünü mitik ve alegorik ögeler aracılığıyla okuyucuya aktarır. Roman iyi ile kötü arasında varolduğu varsayılan karşıtlığı ortadan kaldırır ve bu kavramların birbiriyle ayrılmaz bir biçimde bağlantılı olduğunu ortaya koyar. Olaylar son kırk yıl içinde İngiltere'de yer alır. İki ana karakter olan Matty ve Sophy manevi bir boyutta, ancak bu boyutun iki zıt ucunda yaşarlar.
