Spill her blood” (96). Jack becomes obsessed with hunting and has control over the boys because of their fear of the beast. So when told to kill the pig, they’re loyal and do so. In shattering Glass, most of Rob’s friends are hesitant to take part in his plan to transform Simon, but stay loyal to him. “That’s not real power; true power would be making the sheep like Simon.
Spill his blood! Do him in!” (Golding 152). In the beginning of the novel Jack was not able to kill the pig. He murdered Simon with the rest of the savages because evil was unleashed in their society. As a result, Jack painting his face represents him letting go of society and civilization, to being a savage devoted to hunting and killing.
This repetition of destruction shows that the creature is no longer of sound mind. The creature being alone for so long and unwanted for so long has made him become hateful to everything. The tone then makes another shift to self pity, as the creature becomes disgusted by himself. He goes back to believing he is human for just a few lines, asking the rhetorical question: “should [he] feel kindness toward [his] enemies?” Then the final shift to vengeance takes place. The creature decides “No” he will not “feel kindness toward [his] enemies,” but instead, declares everlasting war against the species,” the species being mankind and specifically his creator.
Jack’s tribe of boys has degenerated completely into savages by killing and hunting their companions. The boys’ uncivilized ways of life lead them into degeneration into savaged men. The lord of the flies shows us what life would be like without rules & regulations being enforced. Even though Ralph tried really hard to stay organized and civilized the savage in the young boys had taken over their civilized mentality. What is this story really trying to tell us, if all these symbols mean something for

Psychological Freud: Jack is the ID because he is driven by his desire for power, control, and the pig meat. In chapter 12, he tries to kill Ralph with the fire, which shows how he really wants the power and will stop at nothing, including killing, to obtain it. Also, he does not
Throughout the novel Dimmesdale’s guilt builds up as he hides his sin. The longer Dimmesdale keeps his sin hidden, the harder it becomes for him to confess his sin. If Dimmesdale continues to keep his guilt hidden it will be near impossible to confess: “If a man wears one mask in public, and another in private he will soon forget which one is real” (Hawthorne 138). Dimmesdale lives a double life. When he is alone he beats and tortures himself because of the deep pain he feels for not confessing his sin.
He painted his face like a barbarian. When he saw his face, he "began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling" (Golding 64). Jack lost interest in civilization, which is why he didn't feel guilty for not keeping the fire going and help improve the survival of the tribe. He lured the group of boys by the promises of meat, play, and freedom. Jack represents the irrational nature of the boys, while Ralph represents common sense.
He felt that killing him himself was the right thing as Lennie was his responsibility and if he didn’t, he would get tortured by the other ranch workers. This was similar to Carlson killing candy’s dog, when candy then afterwards realised he should’ve done it himself. Killing Lennie was a hard and distressing thing for George to do as it says, “The hand shook violently”, maybe showing regret or even determination to get it over and done with. George killed Lennie because he had to. The conflict between Lennie and Curley was distinct and noticeable throughout the whole story.
Also, Ransom respects the inhabitants of Malacandra by learning their language and participating in their everyday activities. On the other hand, Weston and Devine represent bad/evil, which may later be synonymous to demonic. Their main purpose for invading this foreign land is for the “sun’s blood”, or gold.
