Jack, leader of a group of choirboys and ultimately
chief of the hunters, is Ralph’s principal antagonist. Described as
having a full head of red hair, wearing a black cloak and bullying his
way through the boys, his role as a villain is fairly clear from the
beginning. Jack is destined to be the primary cause of destruction on
the island; however, he is not presented as a one-dimensional monster.
Golding forges a more complex and subsequently more credible
character than that. Jack does, for instance, feel some regrets for the
blood on his hands. But before long he represses and noble instincts
and embraces a life of savagery. He makes the psychological break
symbolically when he baptizes himself with the blood of a slaughtered
pig. With the exception of Ralph, Piggy, and a few others, he
eventually lures the other boys to follow him in a life consecrated in
blood, a life which will lead them to multiple murders. Abstractly, Jack
represents the bestial instinct of the human being unrestrained by any
rational Control.
Jack is a devil because of the savage ways he acts like the red
hair, painted faces, the savage pig hunts, the rituals, sacrifices, and the
terrorist acts. Jack is evil because of him being always murderous. He
is always wanting to hunt things and not care what happens to the
animal. Once he gets incharge of his own group he paints his face and
his red hair make him look like the devil. He uses threating comments
to get other people join his group. And he goes on savage acts like
going and beating up Ralph and Piggy for Piggy’s glasses. Jack is
always bulling his way through all the boys like he forces Piggy to give
him Piggy’s glasses. Jack is evil like when he sees that it is beginning
to get dark and he unexpectedly orders the tribe to do its dance. All the
boys leap up and step wildly around the blazing fire, waving their
weapons. They intone a bloodcurdling chant and become wilder and
wilder. That’s some of the savagery that Jack does in this book.
Jack is like the devil because of the savage things that he does
and the nasty ways that he treats people like Piggy. That is what I
would think that is why Jack is like the devil?.
