Monologue Lord Of The Flies

Character dossier

The three boys who seemed most in charge left. Ralph, the choir boy and I think Simon. They all seem foolish, laughing and hopping around. How did everyone vote to leave them to the exploring? God, the fair haired child was standing on his head. They are young and witless. I probably being the oldest, 14 years, should be in charge. Whatever, when they fail to provide safety, I’ll be the hero to swoop in and provide comfort. These young naive boys do not understand the real world like I do. I have always been mature for my age even though my small appearance gives me the look of a 12 year old. Someone yelled Niko and I turned to the sound. It is my school friend Will, he is talking to the annoying fat kid with glasses. I am hesitant to walk over, I want nothing to do with Piggy. We had boys like him in our school, and I made them fear me. They were easy prey. I did not even have to lift a finger, my good looks and athletic build scares anyone off. Also I have my crew to do the dirty work. Will is my accomplice in crime, he is the less attractive half of me. He is the brains and I am the looks.
“Hi Nico, I am just gathering names and your friend said you’re Nico” said Piggy.
I just gave him a curt nod. My caring appearance allows me to manipulate people and get them to do what I want however, I did not even try with Piggy he is not worth the effort. So I just say, “Come Will we are going to do our own exploring.” I send a sassy half hearted smile to piggy and turn my back with Will on my heels. As we leave the beach scene, people follow my lead and begin to run off in every direction. Piggy’s feeble attempts to calm the energetic nest of infants has no
success. As we enter the forest Will laughs and says, “Did you see the kid? Holy he is an idiot, we can have some real fun there.” “Oh I know but it was not the right time. If we play this out smart we can have a good time on this island,” I say sending a wink his way. A mischievous grin creeps all over Will’s face. For a second I forget that we are stranded on an island, everything seems normal, me coming up with daring plans and Will sorting out the logistics of it. “Do we have another one of your brilliant plans?” I just smile his way, and think oh yes we do my friend. Back home Will and I were famous for getting what we want. Growing up on the streets together would we require so. We have too much pride and ego to go to a shelter or beg, so we had to be creative and cunning, two things that we turned into an art. Will is the closest thing I have to a family and vice versa. Lack of money and constant stress caused my mother to abandon me by suicide. She was the only family I had. Luckily though, her death led to the prodigious creation of the Nico & Will duo. After her death, I was dropped in an orphanage where I met Will and his younger brother. When I came his brother was dreadfully sick and the grown ups did nothing to save him causing his agonizing death. After that Will and I left the orphanage and set on our odyssey to burn down the world. We needed no one but each other, especially not any grownups. I scour the area in search for the most Everest like tree and I easily begin to climb to scout out the area. As I drop down with ease from the lowest branch, I inform Will that we are in fact on an island. All the better for my plan.
