    Blake’s’ ‘The Tiger’ published in 1794 and ‘View of a Pig’ by Ted Hughes published in the 1960’s. Question 1 How do the poets’ attitudes to their respective animals differ?

    In Lord of the Flies‚ William Golding utilizes characterization of Ralph and Jack to create a Freudian psychological allegory for the purpose of illustrating the innate evil in humans but also the capacity to care and help. For instance‚ after the boys believe they have seen the beast‚ Ralph declares‚ “There was no need! Now there is. Piggy’ll look after them…(to Piggy) This is more than a hunter’s job...because you can’t track the beast. And don’t you want to be rescued?” (Golding 101-102).

    Jack had him by the hair and was brandishing his knife. Behind him was Roger‚ fighting to get close. The chant rose ritually‚ as the last moment of a dance or hunt. ‘Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!’ Ralph too was fighting to get near...Jack’s arm came down; the heaving circle cheered and made pig-dying noises. Then they lay quiet‚ panting‚ listening to Robert’s frightened snivels” (Golding 114). This quote‚ from the Lord of the Flies‚ written by William Golding‚ shapes symbolism
