There are many kind of conflicts in Lord of the
Flies. One of the main
conflict in this quarter is Person VS Person which is Jack VS Ralph.
"I gave you food, said Jack, 'and my hunters will protect you
from the beast. Who will join my tribe?" (P166, William Golding,
Lord of the Flies)
Jack thought that position of leader belongs to him and he really
want it back. Ralph was selected by voters and he built all the rules
to make sure it goes in an order. But Jack used his ability, the
leader of hunt team and he was wondering to fight against Ralph to
reach his goal. He told the boys that he can give them a good life on
the island and invited them to join his tribe. The dark side of his
heart was growing and this was the beginning of his action.
- Jack has agreed the decision that Ralph could summoning the boys by sounding the shell. But he still remain the thought of disagreeing with others. “That's what I said! I said about our meetings and things and then you said shut up--” (P43 Lord of the Flies) Piggy is a wise boy and he knows what he should do at that time. His brain was clear enough to get everything done properly. But Jack did not. Jack started to lose his mind since he step in a wild world because there was no adults. When he was no longer under control, he will show his negative characteristic. That' s the reason for all the conflicts took place.
3.Napoleon has become the new leader of the animal farm and he started to gave more special interests. "Milk and apples contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brain workers." (P23 George Orwell Animal Farm) The animals were confused that the pigs were not equal to the other animals. This was the first time for Squealer to explain a negative decision that Napoleon made. Napoleon now was in a level which is above all of the other animals. However, Napoleon didn't talk to animals by himself. Instead, Squealer helped him. This is because Napoleon wanted to pretend that he was busy and has lots of work to do. In addition, he knows that he can never stay in that position without helpers. He need to build a group that controlled by him and they have to share what they get. That is where the government comes from.
4.The animal farm has been shut down by the loss of duty of pigs. “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.” (P95, George Orwell, Animal Farm) The true animal farm no longer exists and the resources were sold to human. Napoleon started to cooperate with man. The animal farm has changed to a completely opposite direction compared to the purpose when the animals first built it. The reason of changing is that the power is concentrated in Napoleon's hand. When the power is extremely unbalanced, no one can stop what Napoleon wants to do, in order to rich himself, Napoleon finally chose to abandon all the other animals and live like a man.
