If you're wondering about any specifics, during one of the campfire scenes, there is a boy who rapes the dead pig on a spit. It's still debated if it actually happened, but majority of theories say yes. Lots of power dynamics really heavily learning into mob mentality and manipulation. The physical abuse are performed by the boys onto other boys. It never brinks onto anything sexual, though those topics do come up during analysis of the book.milichka's review against another edition

The story is simple but powerful, the symbolism whacks you over the head, and the growing despair and bewilderment felt through Ralph and his allies is fantastically written. I could have done without the lengthy descriptions of the environment.
