    Ralph's Leaderhsip in Lord of the Flies

    Ralph was the only civil guy left in the end. Although savagery came sometimes to him, he managed to stay civilized for the most part, even though the others became more savage. He is a reasonable leader, but lacks the experience and the knowledge to lead. Jack is an example of a leader, as he can easily get the bigger, more knowledgeable boys to go with him, while Ralph ends up with Simon, Piggy, and the litte’uns.…

    How Does Golding Use Fear In Lord Of The Flies

    At one of the meetings Ralph is talking to one of the littluns about the beastie he saw the previous night. Ralph denies the beastie twice by saying “but there is no beastie.” (pg 35) Right now Ralph is being stubborn. Although the beast is not real, he feels that he needs to repeat this certain fact multiple times, just to prove that he is right. When Ralph is running away from the painted savages, he comes across the “beast” who nearly kills Simon. He stands up to it, and knocks it down. “The skull regarded Ralph like one who brows all the answers and won’t tell. A sick fear and rage swept him. Fiercely he hit out at the filthy thing in front of him that, bobbed like a toy and came back still grinning into his face, so that he lashed and cried out in loathing. Then he was licking his bruised knuckles and looking at the bare stick, while the skull lay in two pieces, it’s grin now six feet across.” Ralph has successfully beaten the beast. He showed the boys that the beast should not control you. He also shows the beast that he is not afraid of him and will never be. He stands up to the the beast that everyone on the island was scared of. By this point in the novel Ralph has matured and fought off his fear. Ralph shows good leadership qualities because he showed no fear or…

    Ralph represents orderliness and tranquility. He is the one who brings the boys together. When they vote for a chief, they elect Ralph, as he is in possession of the conch who brought them together; "There was a stillness about Ralph as he sat that marked him out: there was his size, and attractive appearance; and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch." (Goulding 22). The conch has given Ralph authority and sets him apart from the other boys. As the novel progresses, he finds himself at competition for power-- with Jack. When the boys are tempted to engage in his savage…

    Disney Hero's Journey

    In ancient Greece and Rome, a hero was set apart by their strength and their achievements, which far surpassed ordinary mortals. These heroes were demi-gods of half-mortal, half-divine percentage. In order to be seen as a true hero, he followed what they called the ‘hero pattern’, beginning with his origin, followed by his journey. His journey is then divided into 3 distinct parts; separation or departure, penetration of the power source, and finally the return or reintegration. Today, we don’t have such high expectations. Our heroes don’t have to follow any extensive ‘hero pattern’, as long as he is simply a man of perfection; courageous, intelligent, selfless, handsome, etc. When comparing the stories of our Greek heroes traditionally versus…

    Lord Of The Flies Human Nature Analysis

    Despite his seemingly inherent goodness, Ralph shows his imperfection when he takes part in the brutal murder of Simon. Golding describes Ralph’s actions, “Piggy and Ralph, under the threat of the sky, found themselves eager to take a place in this demented but partly secure society. They were glad to touch the brown backs of the fence that hemmed in the terror and made it governable. ‘Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!’” (152). Ralph’s eventual fall from grace provides insight into a relatively cynical view of human nature as described by Golding. Ralph has been trusted by many of the children throughout the book due to his showing of reason and positive prioritization. He is even shown to respect Simon early on in the book when Simon is the only one who assists him in building the shelters, while the others either play or hunt. Despite this, Ralph is still caught up in the general flow of violence displayed by the other children in the act of beating Simon. This seems to symbolize a view of human nature that describes the social aspect of humans. The idea that humans will often join in on the actions of others regardless of their own personal morals is heavily symbolized in Golding’s depiction of Ralph’s actions. However, there does seem to be on character within the book that can consistently transcend the negative aspects of human…
