Lord Of The Flies

Question 1

Ralph

Answer 1

• The model boy, the ideal - physically + morally
• A natural leader. Immediately noticed
• Democratic style. Self-Sacrifice and Consideration
• Naïve at first but quickly matures with responsibility
• Susceptible to the same weakness as the other boys eg; he teases piggy and is exhilarated by the hunt
• committed to civilisation + rescue than survival
• unable to manage leading without piggy guidance
• resists instinctual urges but is traumatised by witnessing the loss of innocence and regression

Question 2

Jack

Answer 2

• Natural Leader. driven by a selfish desire for control and power
• Antithesis of Ralph. strong willed + fiery red head
• presented as a bully
• militant and authoritarian @ the start, rules = control
• Punishments reflect his violent and savage nature
• manipulates the boys fear as a way of control
• boys are scared of him but rely on him for protection
• obsessed with killing and hunting = ultimate control over his surroundings
• cruelty and violence develops over time
