As the leader of his own faction, Jack uses fear to control his followers.
He is constantly challenged as leader as the book progresses, but Jack starts to gain support despite clearly lacking the ability to lead with responsibility. This could represent how the author feels about how people choose their leaders in the real world. Lastly,
So even tho jack made promises of meat, safety, and a place to have fun, his power is still being threatened by a stronger more feared
Jack has become a crueller, more evil and harsher and has gained more strength. The quote “ He tried to convey the compulsion to track down and kill that was swallowing him up” outlines
In the book “Lord of the Flies” Jack isn’t the only one that started the destruction of the island but in my point of view the ultimate cause is Jack is the main cause of the destruction of the island the one that led to the destruction he is careless that only cares about himself and that wants to be the one everyone listens to the one everyone looks up to. In the beginning Jack has always had that ruthless look in him,that feeling of evil I mean he had red hair kinda symbolize as a devil,he saw himself powerful when he sees weak in people he takes advantage of them and makes fun of it without even realizing. One way of Jack seeing himself powerful and better than the others is when he automailty saw himself as chief because he is leader of the choir,and can sing a c sharp “A
Jack also went through many high obstacles to achieve the majority of the power on the island. After Jack and Hitler gained the power they wanted, they caused many problems around them. They are uncivilized and unconnected with the outside
Jack is fundamentally a good person, but the island changes him to be a child dictator of the other boys because of lack of necessities needed to withhold a typical and common society. The author William Golding, is getting across that in most typical societies, the leader who gets everyone’s attention, and who has the most wanted essentials; in Jack’s case weapons, meat, and protection from “the beast”, will be the most wanted as a leader. The author is also implying that people are not fundamentally good or evil, but something has to drive them to end up changing themselves; like Jack changing because of realizing that having power over the other boys is exciting. Jack is not evil when he arrives on the island, but having cruel power and control over the other boys for his own selfish gain, shows how evilness takes over
Some of the characters in the fictional world evolves to relate to the ever-changing situations and lose their ability to connect with civilization, however, there are a few who remain their inner selves. However, there are a few who exist in the middle in this universe. One of theses boys is Jack Merridew, a leader of the choir. Jack is depicted as an evil leader, one who undergoes a change from a civilized person to being an aggressive savage who loses touch with humanity, and his capability to manipulate others and the use of aggressive methods to achieve personal goals. Jack 's loss of touch with
Jack lost his sanity and civility and this changed him in more ways than imaginable. Jack was a natural leader when the boys first came onto the island, but as time continued he became a horrible dictator. On the first day on the island, Ralph and Jack competed for chief of the island. Ralph won. Jack was unhappy with this result, but it didn’t yet throw him into a spiral of craze and anger.
Consequently, Jack’s goal is more appeasing to the young boys of the community, as well as some of the older boys. This results in Jack gaining power over Ralph. In conclusion, the rivalry that appears between Jack at the end of the book causes the
The author applies Jack in the novel in order so people understand the thirst for power in society. Jack is a character whose behavior is shaped by the mentality of being the best which is frequently encountered in society, given that extremely ambitious people would do anything in order to have influence and fame. Like Jack, a lot of people will manipulate their friends in order to exert power over them, wanting to keep their high position in society. Specifically, in chapter 2, Ralph requested that the boys stay on the hill in order to illuminate the island, thus them being rescued. Jack persuaded the other boys to make a fire to scare away the beast.
Jack demanded control, outlawing laws and morality. The boys get so involved into their barbarian society that by the end of the novel the boys do not feel the need to be rescued anymore. They believe that they could survive without rules, that they could handle being “grown men”. They also do not want to go back to following the rules, they have learned to embrace their rage and have become ruthless. Man reverts back to it primal instincts for
Jack represents dictatorship which is a form of government in which absolute power is concentrated in a dictator or a small clique (Merriam Webster.com). Dictators usually just boss people around and behave as if they are powerful than everyone else and belittle everyone around them.(Enotes, 2016) Dictators are also very selfish and an example of Jack being selfish was when he says to the boys that “I ought to be chief,’ with simple arrogance, ‘because i’m chapter chorister and head boy” (Golding 18). So here he tries to demand that he should be chief because he has the advantage of being chorister and head boy. Jack also doesnt care about others just which relates to a dictator because he hurts Piggy both verbally and physically when he calls him fat “Shut up, Fatty,’(Golding 17), and physically when he snatched his glasses off his face “Jack pointed suddenly.
In the end although Jack character has turned evil , he maintains the most alliances and lives to get off the
