. Jack’s tribe hunts down a Mother boar and kills it. The hunters gather around and start dancing and chanting. Simon runs up trying to tell them the truth about the beast but is beaten to death. Ralph escapes and Jack’s tribe pursues him. To get over his fear of the animal, Jack paints his face and uses this as a mask and shows no mercy the second time they go after the pig. Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric go to the rock fort to get back Piggy’s glasses but Jack laughs at their request. The killing of the mother pig shows the lack of feeling that Jack has for other living beings. The fire set on the entire island shows the lack of thinking on part of Jack.

The most savage act in this book is when Simon is murdered. This s!

hows the brutality of what they planned to do to Ralph, who indeed felt like a pig being hunted by the savages. The way that he is killed shows that there is no hope for the boys to be human anymore. The boys are often being reminded of the fire, which shows that they are losing touch with the outside world. Jacks aggression foreshadows the beast in him.
