With his good intentions and smart thoughts, it made the other biguns feel inferior. As Piggy tried to state ways that could organize their ‘society’, the others would just tell him to be quiet. As the others would bully him, he’d always rely on Ralph to back him up which didn’t happen all the time. His character wasn’t very fit for survival on a deserted island, which made him complain more than the other boys did. As he followed the others up the mountain to the fire, he would continuously complain about his asthma and how he was tired.
When people are isolated from society, they can change dramatically. In William Golding’s Lord of the flies, the boys land on an island that isolates them from society, which transforms the boys from civilized school boys to savage murderers. The island creates many difficulties for the boys. Some of the conflicts are, a struggle for power, surviving on a deserted island and lack of authority. These conflicts provoke the boy’s development into savage murderers .
This action leads to him being considered a tragic hero. Creon’s human flaw of arrogance causes him to ignore reasoning and advice and listen only to his own thoughts. He states, "My voice is the one voice giving orders in this city". He is afraid to go back on his word because it will hurt his pride and he is afraid that it will cause him to lose power with his subjects. This action causes him to lose everyone that he loves.
For a group of young boys stranded on a deserted island we can see how frightening it would be to watch this. As the book develops we can see how Jack becomes a meaner and more aggressive character and his goal to become chief comes clear to the reader. From the first moment Jack and the protagonist Ralph do not cope. Ralph representing democracy and order against Jack, which illustrates tyranny and savagery. At the time for the order boys to choose sides mostly choose the freedom and disorder by joining Jack.
Inside the story, “To Kill a Mockingbird”, from chapters 1 to 9 the character, Atticus, personality is revealed to the readers through his actions of unnoticeable caring and sincerity. In the beginning Atticus is brought up as a very stubborn person, but everything Atticus did is within limits. “When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness’ sake. But don’t make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles’ em.” Everybody expected that Atticus is very narrow minded, and that he does not think for anyone or anything but himself.
Hobbes writes about people destroying themselves and each other if there is no common power to keep the people in check. If people are behaving what we consider normal or humanly, they’re obviously going to destroy each other. They become more savage than human and do not think straight nor perceive the consequences of their actions. Hobbes states, “(which amongst them have no common power to keep them in quiet is far enough to make them destroy each other) … Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war (Hobbes).” In other words, Hobbes says that if there are no laws, no leader, or no set of rules that will keep them in order, they will live in a constant time of war, and will destroy each other. This is reasonably true because if there isn’t anyone or anything to say what is right from wrong, or to give orders, everyone will want to govern themselves.
Jack becomes successful in gaining power because he rules by fear and with intimidation and brute force. Even the army of hunters fear Jack when he “beat Wilfred”(176) for no apparent reason. Although Jack’s irrational decisions appease the little ones, his actions hurt the boys’ chance of rescue. As time passes on the island, Jack’s own bloodlust prioritizes itself before the need to be rescued. In order to protect the little ones from the beast, he makes an offering “for the beast.”(151), creating the basis of a religion.
He believes society has grown custom to useless things and we don’t need. He states that although you might think you own your belongings, your belongings own you because if something were to happen to your things you would be devastated, so Tyler wants to put an end to all of that. He is trying to make everyone re envision their way of life. He wants to start anew and the only way to reach that goal was to reset everyone’s credit to zero by destroying several buildings of importance. He gained many followers by manipulation and helped them all hit rock bottom, and by doing so they are able to destroy their false self and over, because only when you have reached an all time low you will not have anywhere else to go but up, his belief was once you hit bottom that when you can truly achieve perfection.
An obvious thing they have in common is a dislike for one another that is stemmed from their ‘political rivalry’. These examples caused conflict that made their differences stand out even more. The boys being in the same age category and sharing a couple of views on living strategies didn’t cover up just how diverse they were. The first difference between them was how Jack had no respect for the rules the other boys agreed on. As the novel progressed Jack became more savage and in-humane while Ralph tried to keep the innocence he’ll never get back.
One possible outcome is Fred’s children, whenever he chooses to have them, will be raised in this new found belief and carry on the tradition of hate, or the exact opposite will happen with his offspring. His children could learn the truth about other races and religions and grow to have the same distaste toward their father that Fred has for the “other” group of people. There is always the outcome of Fred hurting or killing the group of people in mention which will get him jail time or worse. Most people who have such a strong belief toward people who are different, tend to not be happy with just showing their hate by using words, by they rather physically show their discord by burning, destroying, demonstrating, beating, and killing what they hate. This in turn poses another set of consequences.
