Piggy Changes In Lord Of The Flies Character Analysis
In the beginning of the novel, Lord of the Flies, Piggy is timid. Piggy changes from being timid to being confident to feeling free. Here are some examples of Piggy changing. In chapter one, Piggy felt embarrassed when Ralph told the boys his name. The boys laughed then “for the moment the boys were a closed circuit of sympathy with Piggy outside: he went very pink, bowed his head and cleaned his glasses again” (Goldberg 14). In chapter two, Piggy got enraged because of Jack, Ralph, and the other boys. Piggy said, “Like kids!” he said scornfully. “Acting like a crowd of kids!”(Goldberg 30). In chapter five, Piggy became more confident when he was around Jack by calling him out on something he did not completely agree with. Piggy had said, “I
don’t agree with all Jack said, but with some…” (Goldberg 72). In chapter eight, Piggy feels a since of freedom once Jack had left. “Piggy was so full of delight and expanding liberty in Jack’s departure…” (Goldberg 115). In chapter eleven, Piggy became wary of his surroundings while he, Ralph, and the twins set out to find or make smoke and to get his glasses back. Piggy asked, “Is it safe? Ain’t there a cliff? I can hear the sea.” “Am I safe?” quavered Piggy. “I feel awful—” (Goldberg 157). In the end, Piggy changed throughout the novel quite a bit. Some changes benefited him, while others not so much.
