Rather than compromising with Ralph about who gets the fire, Jack takes it for himself. At first, I did not know too much about his character, but in the fourth chapter he showed new outstanding qualities that made him an immensely respectable character.
For example, when Jack rudely refused to give Piggy meat, Simon passed his own meat to Piggy, and did not take his decision back even when Jack started yelling at the poor boy. This shows that Simon is generous and naturally a good person. Most people ignored how badly Piggy was treated and did not help whatsoever, while others joined in on the bullying. Even their leader of the society joined in on this cruel act, but Simon was the only one that looked out for Piggy when no one else would.
Simon is known for using his hiding spot as a place to clear his mind. In the events where i would be left on an island i would want to have a place to think away from everyone else as well. I think this is the reason simon says so calm compared to the boys, he has a piece of mind. Another example of when Simon demonstrates empathy to others is on page 74, when Jack uses the pig meat as a way to manipulate the boys and gain power.
At first, Jack deprives Piggy of meat because he sees him as a. The boys on the island do not like Piggy because they do not like what he has to say. When Piggy talks to the boys, he usually puts the happy atmosphere of the Island to a somber one.
When the boys first get to the island they are somewhat happy about being on the there. They think that their friends and family are going to rescue them someday. Piggy is an intellectual character who has the potential to make life easier for the boys on the island. Yet, he is constantly pushed around due to his physical differences from the other boys. Piggy has poor eyesight, asthma, and weight problems. Piggy represents the rational world. Golding 2. Piggy shows he is scared that they are stuck on the island on their own with no adults.
You can tell Piggy is scared by the tone of his voice when he replied to Ralph. It is said that most people if put in a particular situation they would not do things they would normally. Golding, a group of young boys are stranded on an isolated island cut off from society, having no adults or figures of authority on the island, the boys become savage. Examples of such savagery would be the murders, the cruelty of Jack, and how even Ralph could succumb to it as well Ralph, the voice of civilization throughout the novel even is able to succumb to the dark desires within him, similar to Jack.
What is the conch and what does it symbolize? How does Simon die? Why does Jack start his own tribe? Do the boys get rescued from the island? Why is Ralph chosen to be the chief? Why does Jack think he should be the chief? Who is the first boy to die on the island?
Why does Jack hate Ralph? Piggy also relies too heavily on the power of social convention. He believes that holding the conch gives him the right to be heard. He believes that upholding social conventions get results. As the brainy representative of civilization, Piggy asserts that "Life. Piggy tries to keep life scientific despite the incident, "searching for a formula" to explain the death. He asserts that the assault on Simon was justifiable because Simon asked for it by inexplicably crawling out of the forest into the ring.
Piggy is so intent on preserving some remnant of civilization on the island that he assumes improbably enough that Jack 's raiders have attacked Ralph's group so that they can get the conch when of course they have come for fire.
Even up to the moment of his death, Piggy's perspective does not shift in response to the reality of their situation.
