Jack Vs Jack Lord Of The Flies

Hearing the title Lord of the Flies, what do you think of it? Do you question yourself and ask, "Could it possibly represent something?" Well, when reading this book it vaguely explains what the title represents. This book is But all in all, it is essentially saying the no matter how civilized you may believe you are, there is a pint-sized amount of evil in everyone. In fact, William Golding (author of Lord of the Flies) sticks in many representations here and there. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding focuses on two characters: Ralph and Jack. They are two potential leaders that slowly, but surely compete for the chief role. Even though they have similar aspects of their personality, when it comes down to the wire, they have differences
It starts with their appearance. When deserted on an island, your appearance can say one of two things: Civilized and Savage. Ralph and jack perfectly represent them both. It is not easy to look nice when you have no access to the tools you need in order to complete this action. But, Ralph makes do with what he has attempting to achieve this goal of his. He wants to represent the ideology that British boys are best and good-looking. An example of this is how in Lord of the Flies it mentions that "Ralph pulled distastefully at his grey shirt and wondered whether he might undertake the adventure of washing it." When Golding inserts the word distastefully, it points a hint to he does not enjoy the condition he is currently in. On the other hand, there is Jack who could care less if he was dirty. In chapter four of Lord of the Flies, Jack becomes very fond of the fact of painting his face. In fact, on page 63 of Lord of the Flies, it talks about how Jack feels proud to be counted as someone who has very savage like nature. One character asked why he wore all of that paint and Jack replied saying, "For hunting. Like in a war. You know-dazzle paint." Golding wanted to really emphasize how much Jack treasures this side of himself so he included how Jack, "Began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling." He brought out how the mask compelled Jack and his
In the early stages of Lord of the Flies Golding Explains how everyone wants to get rescued and escape from the island. This is where the boys start to find and separate themselves, by making priorities. This goal is followed more by Ralph than Jack. It starts off with how Jack and Piggy find the conch and decide to use it to establish order to the island (Lord of the Flies by William Golding page 15). Also, Ralph had the idea to build a fire, so that the smoke would show, thus letting a passing ship bring them to safety (Page 38). Furthermore, he had an idea of building shelters so that the boys could remain unharmed and safe. But, he mentioned this in the middle in an argument with Jack, so both of the arguments were disregarded overall. Contradictorily, there is Jacks point of view. His main focus is on eating the meat he hunts and to be superior to Ralph. This trait of Jacks can be portrayed on page 53 when Jack clearly shows that he is more worried about getting meat than being rescued. He said, "Rescue? Yes, of course! All the same, I'd like to catch a pig first-". Another time Jack shows how much he idles getting meat over being rescued is on page 51. Jack flushes with madness into his eyes saying, "We want meat!" Ralph responds and says, "You wouldn't care to help with the shelters, I suppose?" Then Jack continues with his argument, "We want meat…and we don't get it." Clearly, Jack has no concern for
