In the beginning of the novel William Golding’s description of Roger conveys that roger was quiet and mysterious character. In the passage, all the boys including roger were coming out of the dense forest to join the group on the beach. At first, the author uses metaphor to compare Roger’s physical appearance as “a furtive boy”. Which tells us that no one knew him on the island and also that he was very shy. Roger appeared to be a very withdrawn character who did not appear to be concerned with social interaction, and kept very much to himself. Also, later in the passage when he presented his idea to everybody, he stuttered a bit, “Let’s have a vote Yes! Vote for chief! Let’s vote”, which clearly illustrate that he was uncommunicative by nature.
