Where do the boys end up hiding out in the end?

In the end, the boys find refuge in a secluded area of the island, often described as a hidden cave or a dense thicket. This location provides them with a sense of safety and isolation from the chaos they’ve experienced. The isolation of the hideout reflects their descent into savagery and the breakdown of civilization around them. Ultimately, it serves as a stark contrast to their earlier attempts at order and community.
