Roger Lord Of The Flies Chapter 4 Analysis

The influence of a corrupted power seeking leader is all it can take for any innocent person to begin to perform savage like behaviors. The author William Golding demonstrates in, The Lord of the Flies, through a group of British boys that become stranded on a deserted island where they are forced to fend for themselves and try to create a stable self-governing system. In specific, Roger illustrates changes on the island; by becoming more violent, as his evil motives turn from innocent to dealthy. Which is shown, as he picks on the younger boys, showing overly-aggressive behavior while hunting, and his final push towards the dark side when he kills piggy.

     The character of Roger is also an id but he is a satanic killer. Unlike

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Ralph sees himself as civilized, responsible, and a leader. Ralph sees himself as civilized because while on the island he tries to create order and rule. Ralph speaks to all of the boys, "If we have a signal going they'll come and take us off. And another thing. We ought to have more rules. Where the conch is, that's a meeting. The same here as down there" (Golding 420). Ralph tells the boys that there will be rules and that they need to follow them.

“When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed”(Rand). This was stated by Russian-American novelist Ayn Rand; the extract relates to the novel William Golding wrote called Lord of the Flies.

Trying to survive was difficult because they had to have common sense and order. They lose those traits throughout the book which resulted in selfishness and corrupt behaviors.

Over the summer we all read the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding and had to put of with the one called Jack. In nearly every book there is a so called villain or bad guy to make the story more interesting and eventful, and Jack is just that character.

Louis Pojman believes that the purpose of morality is to maintain order. He explains specifically that morality will keep society from falling apart, ameliorate human suffering, promote human flourishing, resolve conflicts in an orderly way, assign praise and blame, and reward the good while punishing the bad.

Throughout the movie, as well as the book, there is a struggle to maintain order based on the concept of what is right and wrong, morality. From the taking of Piggy’s glasses to the lose of the fire several times, they all are questionable instances

In the words of the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.” In other words, humans harbor an ever present looming evil nature within themselves.

As the novel progresses, evil starts asserts itself as the boys cast off their innocence and humanity, and turning against each other. Even the
