William Golding uses symbolism, nature imagery, and foreshadowing to view how fear has affected the boys to become savagest. In chapter 9 of The

Simon has a heightened perception, even more so than Piggy. Simon is unique because he can actually hear the voice of the beast. He realizes that the beast is not something one can kill because it 's inside the boys. Simon is seen as a Christ figure. He gives up his own life in an attempt to tell the rest of the boys about the beast. Jack wants to take control over the whole society. Jack is the leading support of anarchy on the island. Jack is the leader of the savage tribe which hunts the pigs. Opposed to Ralph and Piggy on almost all matters, Jack represents the identification of one 's personality— he supports the notion that one 's desires are most important and should be followed, regardless of reason or morals. Jack is the kind of person that is believed everyone would eventually become if left alone to set one 's own standards and live the way one naturally wanted. In this novel it is believed that the natural state of humans is disordered and that man is inherently evil. When reason is abandoned, only the strong survive. Jack personifies this idea perfectly.

At the start of the novel readers are greeted by a duo consisting of Piggy and Ralph, quickly it can be understood that Ralph is the dominant partner and Piggy is the submissive, doing all that Ralph asks of him. Through the perspective of Piggy, readers can see how he views Ralph in a perfect, god-like manner. This can be seen in the first chapter only a short amount of time once they first meet when Piggy “Looked critically at Ralph’s golden body and then down at his own clothes,” (1. 57). Piggy and Ralph have only just met yet already Piggy “bows” down to Ralph and sees nothing wrong with anything that he does. Piggy is automatically pulled toward what is explained as Ralph’s “golden body” then just as quickly looks down at his own almost in shame, for not looking the way he perceives Ralph to look like. Despite Piggy’s obvious affinity and love for Ralph, Ralph calls Piggy by his nickname in hopes of distancing

During one part of the story, Piggy made Jack furious when he had his mask on. Jack became a different person by becoming mean and aggressive towards Piggy “...Jack smacked Piggy’s head. Piggy’s glasses flew off and tinkled on the rocks.” When Jack wore the clay mask, he turned into another person; the mask gave him power and courage to slap Piggy. The boys needed food and when Jack put the mask on, he was able to kill the sow without hesitation and left the head of the pig as a gift for the beast.” The first blow had paralyzed its hind quarters, so then the circle could close in and beat and beat” (Golding 75). In the beginning of the novel, Jack was afraid to kill a pig, but eventually adapts to the island, thus he becomes more courageous. After Jack made a kill, he started chanting like the boys always did, but it was dark and there was a thunderstorm and Simon got killed in the chaos. The boys were chanting and Jack was part of the chant. They beat someone which they thought was a beast, but it was Simon. It was dark and Jack automatically assumed it was the beast that was coming out of the forest. So, Jack and the boys beat him up and killed. From here on, Jack becomes more aggressive and violent throughout the

Piggy’s glasses also foreshadow the death of the boys. They represent knowledge and wisdom. When the glasses were perfectly intact, the boys had no life threatening issues or cases of savagery. However, once Jack and his tribe killed a pig, Jack slapped Piggy, causing one of the lenses to break. This represents the breaking point in the story, where some of the boys start to succumb to savagery, and eventually murder Simon. Then as soon as Jack steals Piggy’s glasses and destroys the other lens, all of the boys officially become savages and soon after horribly kill Piggy himself. In a way, Simon’s experiences with seizures and faint spells foreshadow his death. For example, the novel states in the first chapter, “Then one of the boys flopped on his face in the sand and the line broke up. They heaved the fallen boy to the platform and let him be.” This disability makes him significantly weaker than the other boys on the island. Being the weakest link, he would be the most likely person to be killed, whether on accident or on purpose. And, finally, Piggy’s name itself foreshadows his

In contrast t o the novel, Ralph would constantly support piggy, and stick up for him when he was being bullied.

The imaginary beast that scares the teenage boys stands as the savagery existing within all human beings. The beast scares all the boys but only Simon reaches the realization that exists within each of them.As I said before, the boys are afraid of the something in their imagination, which applies as the beast. This is apart of their imagination, which means the evil part among us. In the book, Piggy begins to say that the beast is just fear and Simon tells them, "Maybe, maybe there is a beast what I mean is maybe it's only us". This is saying that Piggy and Simon believe and are implying that the beast among them are themselves. Jack states that the beast can take shape in any form, which is typically saying that the beast can take over anyone. It is foreshadowing how the beast will soon come out of the boys and start a troubling and dangerous riot. The beast can't be killed because it is in every single one of us. The beast is the dark side inside all of us. The beast cannot be hunted and killed, because if the pig is apart of themselves, that means they are killing themselves. The boys are afraid of the beast, but only Simon realizes that they fear the beast because it exists in each of them. As the boys grow more restless, their belief in the beast grows stronger. By the end of the novel, the boys are leaving it and their actions is what brings the beast into their lives. The more crazy the boys are, it becomes more real.

The novel, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, is a story about a group of British school boys that get stuck on an island after they crash on a plane. They are forced to use the resources around them and have to trust each other, and it works out for a while, but while you read on, you begin to recognize a strain between the two main characters, Jack and Ralph, which really spins out of control at the end. William Golding uses British school boys for this novel because those kind of boys are well mannered and don’t seem like the kind of people to turn into uncultured savages. They are expected to have manners and common etiquette. He uses an example of social commentary by using the little ‘uns in the book as not being able to take care of themselves, and that is supposed to represent the society that we live in, that we can’t take care of ourselves without help. Foreshadowing is subtle, uses unimportant details to lead up to the climaxes of the novel, and is the basis of good vs. evil during the novel.

Often, we choose our leaders based on confident, physical strength, and intellectual ability to shape a better community. However, many times, people choose leaders who have the best physical appearance; as a result, we frequently see unpleasant activity instead of moral action in our world. As William Golding illustrates through symbolism and foreshadowing in Chapters One to Five of Lord of the Flies, if we elect our leaders based on captivating looks, this often leads to a devastated civilization.

Jack and the others know about the beast but are scared of it and don’t know what to do about it. Jack boasts,  “I cut the pig’s throat said jack proudly and yet twitched as he said it.”(69). Jack did not feel any remorse for the pig. The author explains jack’s state of mind when he says, “His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it taken away its life like a long satisfying drink. He spread his arms wide. “You should have seen the blood”.”(70) this show jack becoming a little mad.. Ralph has come to talk to jack about stealing piggy's glasses. “Jack made a rush and stabbed at Ralph's chest with his spear.... They were chest to chest, breathing fiercely, pushing and glaring ”(177). Jack is angry at ralph. Next “After Piggy's death and the conch being destroyed See That's what you'll get I meant that There isn't a tribe for you anymore The conch is gone” (181). Jack has killed or stole ralph tribe members. In the real life people use things and money to get people to do what they

Ralph “lost himself in a maze of thoughts that were rendered vague by his lack of words to express them.” Ralph is shown to be an inexperienced leader as his thoughts are compared to being lost in a maze. The author implies that Ralph’s young age and education left him inexperienced and struggles during tense situations.

“S’right. It’s a shell! I seen one like that before. On someone’s back wall. A conch he called it.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was right in saying that the “only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. Jack Merridew’s evil ways are evident as he uses fear to control the boys on the island. In the beginning of the book, his presence itself at the election of chief instills the first of the fears within each of the boys. Jack uses his personality as a menace to the boys on the island. Although Jack garners support from the majority of the group, they assist him only through fear of what he is capable of doing to them if they do not do as he commands. As one can see multiple times throughout the book, Jack deems it necessary to hunt down pigs on the island, but why? Jack carries a demon inside of him that allows him to do such acts. If things are not done as he wishes, his fury is unleashed on everyone around him. While the others find hunting as a chance for adventure, Jack practices it as if it were a ritual. This ritual extends beyond the pig caught between the “creepers”; pigs are eventually replaced with human flesh. The boys’ fear keep them in the circle of dancing for they are afraid that one of them will be the next in the center of the dance. This outlook on violence is what drives the fear inside them. Later on, Jack uses the belief of the beast to further enlarge the terror of the schoolboys. The idea of the beast was originally brought up by a “littlun” but Jack uses the little boy’s fear to his advantage. The sacrifices made, the spears, and the face

In the beginning of the book Ralph is treated as an equal by the other boys due to his personality. '"He's not Fatty, cried Ralph, his real name's Piggy... a storm of laughter arose and even the tiniest child joined in'" (21). Ralph's personality is very similar to the others' because when he he acts immature the boys all feel that it's funny instead of telling him he's wrong and that he should apologize. Just after they laugh at what he has to say they are accepting him into the group. In the beginning of the book Piggy is outlasted because of his personality. '"'I was with him when he found the conch. I was with no. Before anyone else was.' Jack and the others paid no attention'" (24). Piggy's personality here comes off as persistent and, seeing as jack wasn't really persistent on being the chief his personality doesn't match up with him. When they don't allow Piggy to come along with them they are out casting him because, they don't understand his persistence because they never have experienced it. Piggy instead of coming across as want to help and just being persistent comes off as being pushy and annoying. In the middle of the book Ralph is becoming divergent from the group. "'That's dirty!' Laughter rose again...'" (80). Ralph has shown that he has finally grown up and he's starting to act like it as well. Just after

Nobody seems to listen to Piggy’s intelligent ideas of how they should act on the island in order to survive. When Jack began assembling his own group of boys, under his leadership, things began to fall apart. Piggy is expressing his frustration towards the boys in the quote,“Can’t they see? Can’t they understand? Without the smoke signal we’ll die here? Look at that!” (Golding, page 139). Piggy, like Simon, has always questioned if the beast could be deeper than a real being. Therefore, Piggy had a greater fear of the boys abandoning the fire, than he did of the beast. The boys are being naive, going after pigs and the beast instead of tending the fire, and Piggy realizes that. He is aware that the boys don’t see the importance in the fire signal as he and Ralph do. Abandoning the fire will lead to no rescue and eventually death upon the island. This could be foreshadowing Piggy’s death since the group of savage boys end up killing
