In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, a plane crashed leaving boys on the island without any adults. The boys having no idea where they are decide to work it. The boys slowly adapt to the island by finding food, choosing a leader, building huts, lighting the fire as a rescue signal,etc. The boys slowly start to change into something more savage. As Jack, Roger, piggy’s glasses shows how life on the island adjust from civilized to savagery.
Jack is one of the most distinct character to show how civilization can fall and turn into a something more savage. To begin with he was a choir boy who wanted to be the tribe leader. Then, he becomes more unusual because he kills an animal which is savagery somehow. Then, he he forms a tribe in which he's the leader. He isn’t using that group for an important cause but he is using it to kill the beast. To be honest Jack knows that there isn't a beast, he is just using the excuse to keep the tribe together. …show more content…
When it first started Jack was the one who said if there is a beast we will kill it. He becomes a total savage when he starts inflicting pain on human which shows one of the main signs he has turned savage. He starts beating one of the kids for hours for no exact reason whatsoever.
Piggy’s glasses is a symbol of how civilization can turn into savagery.

At first, Piggy’s glasses were fine and they weren’t broken. This is trying to say that at this time everyone was civilized. Then the breaking of piggy’s glasses symbolize that something bad was going to happen. Slowly everything changed and there was more happening. Everyone was slowly turning into something dangerous as
savagery.
Roger is also one of the elements to show how they changed from civilized to savage. This is because when we first see him he was one of the choir boys. He starts changing the day he throws Rocks. He was slowly changing but he was throwing to miss at first and then with the pig he was being total savage.
The Roger, Jack, and piggy’s glasses show how that civilization can turn into savage
Roger is a very unique character with secrets. When we first saw him Goulding described as “slight, furtive boy whom no one knew, who kept to himself with inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy” in which he seems more corrupt and savage (22). Later, we Roger was throwing rocks at Henry he was “throwing to miss”
Roger represents a
