What’s the law? It’s only someone’s opinion” (283). Martyn Pig killed and covered up dad’s death with no remorse, he was also blackmailing Dean, and he lied to Alex, copes, social worker, Dean, and Aunty Jean. Even though Martyn’s father was a violent drunk, he is a villain because he covered up his father’s death and he lied to everyone especially the police. To begin with, Martyn Pig killed and covered up dad’s death with no remorse, Martyn Pig claims that it was just an accident.
I think that it’s easy to say that “Lord of the Flies” is jam packed with tons of symbolism. Probably the most obvious is the conch. Almost immediately, the boys see the conch as an item of immense power and a beam of hope in their little island society. This was probably made by its first impression, when Ralph blew on it for the first time, thus calling all the other boys. Unfortunately, due to Jack’s desire for “Doing what you want”, its representation of democracy & common sense begins to lose sight of most of the boys.
Spill his blood! Do him in!” (168). By becoming so carried away and building up such desire to kill, the boys mistake Simon for the beast and murder him instantly. Finally, the boys’ savagery is also portrayed in the murder of Piggy. Nobody was allowing Piggy the opportunity to speak his mind, disregarding any of his opinions.
In chapter one, Jack hesitates to stab and kill a piglet because he has never killed anything, and the barbaric act of cutting into a living creature was too overwhelming. Not only does Jack see this as a personal weakness, but he also is embarrassed by his hesitation and says “I was choosing a place.” His explanation that he was looking for a place to stab the piglet was false and everyone knew it was the unbearable blood stopping Jack from killing the creature; however, he vows that next time the pig won't get away. This vow opens the door to the savagery that will overtake him and many of the boys who want to satisfy their primal impulses. Clearly Jack does not start off as a monster, and he still remains in touch with civilization. Although, as the novel continues, Jack's trajectory gradually moves away from the formal, civilized way of life and steadily toward murder and brutality.
Jack would make it more like a dictatorship, because he is a very savage character. Piggy is very logical and he likes to think things through before he does or says them. Piggy always tried to make the sound decision for Ralph, though Ralph would not listen most of the time. He thinks like an adult, always had, even in the beginning. Piggy’s the one who said they should collect everybody’s name and make a list.
This group of boys can choose to make whatever kind of society they want, and in the end they commit multiple murders and nearly destroy the entire island. None of the boys, except Piggy, is very interested in doing the smart things they need to do to keep from disintegrating into chaos; instead they do whatever they want. That does not disturb me because I can understand it. None of the boys hesitate to follow Jack, the man who wears face paint and gives them meat, despite the fact that he is not a particularly good person or an effective leader. The boys are lured (and later coerced) into becoming part of Jack's tribe.
Kill the pig, cut her throat, spill the blood' We first hear this when Jack as his hunters kill their first pig. This is a political allegory because Jack leads the group when they chant this and makes them usually say it every time they kill a pig, showing his dominant power. “next time there will be no mercy” Jack struggling between 2 sides, civilized side and the vicious, savage side within him. No longer can suppress the inner evil. ‘An Awesome stranger’- Focalisation is used by Golding here to give reader an idea of Jack’s point of view of the island- turning savage and primal degenerating (opposite of evolving.)
But it’s going to be so much more moving when I strangle her on our wedding night. Once Guilder is blamed, the nation will truly be outraged; they’ll demand we go to war.” Prince Humperdinck is ruthless, and cares for no one but himself. He feels like he is a genius because he believes no one else can figure out what he has planned, and usually this is the
It also brought them all to the point where one of them was willing to murder their peer. In another passage of the novel, Jack rises above the fear that the beast creates and says, “We’ve got to talk about this fear and decide that there’s nothing in it…that’s
Exposure to violence can breed violence even in those who oppose it. In the story, Lord of the Flies that is exactly what happens to the characters. Ralph loses his composure, Jack turns into a blood crazed savage and Ralph becomes part of the demented hunters. The aggressive atmosphere that thrives on that heinous island conquered the good character of the boys. Jack was the first of the boys to show signs of aggression, then it turned on his hunters, and then it took control of Ralph.
