While Jack had complete power over them, in other words dictatorship, two of the children died. To put it simply, it was utter chaos: “Nobody killed, I hope? Any dead bodies?” “Only two. And they’ve gone” (Goulding 201). This demonstrates how with dictatorship, the value of life always seems to disappear. There will always be more blood shed under dictatorship than democracy. There will also always be jealousy: “I’m chief!” “Jack, with full intention, hurled his spear at Ralph. The point tore the skin and flesh over Ralph’s ribs, then sheared off and fell in the water. Ralph, not feeling pain but panic” (Goulding 181). There will also be loss of control and desperation for power: “You go away, Ralph. You keep at your end. This is my end and my tribe. You leave me alone” (Goulding 176). That is basically the definition of chaos. In Lord of the Flies, chaos mostly occurred while Jack was in control, and while he was, two of the boys were murdered. In the novel, Lord of the Flies, the use of examples of both democracy and dictatorship made for an excellent comparison between Ralph and Jack, two very different characters. Each character tried to establish their own type of government on the island but only one can truly work. In the end democracy won in terms of leadership and thoughtfulness. The author clearly supports this idea with his detailed descriptions of the characters thoughts and actions. He believes democracy
