Character
sketches of Jack
When
Jack appears, he leads a party of choir boys. They all wear a square
black cap with a silver badge. These boy's bodies are hidden by black
cloaks. This appearance and action of the hunters demonstrate Jack's
leadership. He is about Ralph's age. Jack is strong and appointed
by Ralph to be the leader of hunters.
As
the story goes, Jack, the novel's antagonist, gradually becomes a
villainous and egomaniacal savage leader. His desire for power tempts
him to go against Ralph's group and leave them helpless. When Piggy
is killed by a boulder, Jack screams wildly, ''See?See? That's what
you'll get! I meant that! There isn't a tribe for you any more! The
conch is gone---.'' in the later half of the novel, Jack's words are
cruel and his actions are very violent. Jack only cares for his own
power and not for the common good. He shows innate human evil nature
and represents savagery.
Character
sketches of Piggy
In
the novel '' Lord of the Flies'',
Piggy is a support character who is short and overweight. He dresses
similar to the other boys in a typical school uniform and wears
glasses. Piggy's aunt tells him not to run because he suffers from
asthma. Therefore, Piggy is weak and not suitable
to be a hunter.
Piggy
is friendly, intellectual and rational. Compared with the other boys,
Piggy's insight and intelligence assists the whole group. For
instance, Piggy suggests to Ralph to use the conch shell to call the
others so they can have a meeting anytime. Likewise, Piggy comes up
with a sundial that everyone can use to tell the time. Nonetheless,
Piggy is hated by Jack because Piggy is nagging and insisting on
supporting Ralph. In the story, Piggy is a just and tragic character
who is killed by the savages in the end.
