Stranger Things Season 5: Volume 2 intensified the tension around Vecna’s sinister plan for Hawkins, the main characters, and the children he’s kidnapped. In the Volume 2 finale, fans were shocked by the children’s behavior toward Holly, with many noting it strongly mirrors the themes of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Warning: Spoilers ahead.
In Episode 7, Holly is sadly recaptured by Vecna after trying to escape with the help of Max. When returning to the Creel house, Henry had weaved a fake tale of how Holly had been wrongfully influenced by the "monstrous" Max, leading the other kids to band together to make Holly join them and Mr. Whatsit's plan to save the world.
Chaos ensues when Holly hits some of the children with a radio in an effort to escape, until the others go after her. One child in particular calls her a "b*tch" before dragging her away and ultimately causing her to fall down the stairs.
Stranger Things fans have taken to social media to agree that the kidnapped kids have become "horrible" considering the circumstances.
"Let’s be honest… these kids are horrible people," said one fan on X.

"It's a Lord of the Flies world. And Holly is the enemy," said one fan, while another added, "That one main kid is pure evil."
Another added, "They’ve been in the upside down for two days and it’s already turned into a Lord of the Flies situation."
"I hope the intent was to go for a LORD OF THE FLIES feeling. That book was in pretty much all high school English classes in the 80s," said one fan in relation to the Duffer brothers likely having used the book as inspiration.
Some fans feared that the scenes created a "hive mind" scenario prevalent in the series, and it's the result of Vecna's manipulation. The fact that one child even choked Holly led many to say that they are not worth saving.
"They were so easily manipulated that they believed a stranger over the classmate they’ve known for years. probably the reason what'sit took them," said one fan.
