As a leader Jack should be a figurehead and someone the littleuns look up to. Instead Jack is purposely making them scared and more nervous. When Jack describes the

E.M. Forster suggests that William Golding’s writing “lays out a solid foundation for the horrors to come” in Lord of the Flies. This is true, due to Golding’s excessive amount of foreshadowing in the beginning of the novel that hints to the murders of two characters: Simon and Piggy. For instance, the very first paragraph of the novel includes foreshadowing when it states, “He was clambering heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was echoed by another.” The bird’s cries represent Simon’s death, and its echo represents Piggy’s death, since it followed quickly afterward. The colors, on the other hand, represent blood, fire, cowardice and deceit,

A reoccuring signal of their downfall was the screams that sounded very familiar to the Hadley parents. “Those screams - they sound familiar” (Bradbury). Those screams were foreshadowing the deaths of George and Lydia in the nursery because the nursery was already preparing to kill them to fulfill the wishes of the children. The second signal of the parents death was the lions eating some unidentified animal. “‘They’ve just been eating,’ said Lydia. ‘I don’t know what.’ ‘Some animal”’ (Bradley). George and Lydia could never identify the animal and assumed that it was a zebra or gazelle, however when the reader looks back after finishing the story, they realize that the ‘animal’ was in fact George and Lydia. “There are also lions off in the distance that seem to be feeding upon a recent kill. Suddenly the lions turn and run toward George and Lydia” (Milne). When the lions turned and chased the Hadley parents after finishing their kill, it was indicating the lions were targeting them, and that the animal was in fact the parents. By spoiling their children and then taking away one small privilege, George and Lydia had caused the children to have bad behavior issues and not be able to handle it, causing the children to wish for their parents deaths.

Mr. White anxiously wonders to himself about the wish he comes up with, and his worried feelings are described by Jacobs as, “The last face was so horrible and so simian….with a little shiver he wiped his hand on his coat and went up to bed”(Jacobs 4).
