Becomes more malicious and gains more power, controlling the group. The group largely follows Jack in casting off moral restraint and embracing violence and savagery(except Ralph,Piggy and Simon); influential Jack’s love of authority and violence are intimately connected, as both enable him to feel powerful.

I never understood what he meant by that I was to naïve to understand his words and know the true meaning of them until I had experienced a great set back of my own.
