Golding gives characteristics to his character, Jack, that emulate the Id, the part of our psyche that gives way to primitive impulses. In the beginning of Lord of the Flies, Jack desires to be chief. He wants to establish rules on the island, however, he is not inclined to have them apply to him. As the novel progresses, Jack is drawn to activities that interest him and excite him, neglecting his responsibilities in the process. Jack is the leader of the hunters on the island. Jack goes hunting for his own pleasure instead of helping Ralph and Simon to build shelters. In addition, Jack kills a pig instead of tending to the fire (Golding 69). Later on, Jack kills a sow in a frenzied, vulgar way, and the chase had sexual overtones.
