How Does Piggy Change In Lord Of The Flies

As the novel has progressed the boys are more described as looking more and more untidy, unclean, slob like, and progressively looking and acting like savages. This change can bee seen all of the boys. We can see this by the way the boys are described by Lowry, “Other boys were appearing now, tiny tots some of them, brown, with the distended bellies of small savages” (201). This is symbolic because it shows how far they are from civilization, not only in their appearances but also in their behavior.

Piggy died when Roger levered a boulder that dropped onto Piggy killing him and crushing the conch. This occurred because Piggy had finally was ready to fight back because he had previously been too scared of Jack, although to some extent he still is afraid of jack.

Although it is primarily Jack’s fault for leading the group down a path of disorder and savagery, none of the other boys really tried to add any input into what was occurring.

Another example can be seen when Piggy is blaming Jack for all of their misfortune but never actually said any of it to his face as he is afraid of Jack and what might happen if he stood up, “Are we savages or what? Only now there’s no signal going up. Ships may be passing. Do you remember how he went hunting and the fire went out and ship passed by? And they all think he’s the best as chief”’
