Mask In Lord Of The Flies

Masks tend to reveal a person’s true inner-most personality or self. In the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Jack paints his face with camouflage so that the pigs wouldn’t see him. This camo on his face released his inner beast because from this point on he isn’t a good British choirboy, he is a violent savage. His camouflage mask uncovers the true, inner Jack without his worry of being judged. In the movie The Mask written by Mike Werb, Stanley’s landlord snaps and makes fun of him but he is too timid to say something until she goes back inside her room. He is the type of guy that doesn’t stand up for himself and get taken advantage of easily. After he puts on the mask, he defends himself against a gang with a smart/sarcastic attitude
