In the allegorical novel, Lord of the Flies, the author William Golding uses the characters to represent hidden themes and ideas he wants to express to the reader. The central theme of the book is the conflict between human’s internal struggles between our natural instincts of civilization which is the “good” and against savagery as the “bad”. A secondary theme that is equally is important is the desire for power. Jack symbolizes the antagonizing side of uncontrolled savagery and the strong desire for power. Within the madness of Jack and his hunters, Ralph and Piggy represent order, civilization and righteousness. Golding connects Jack’s symbol to the viciousness and inhumanity within society of the reader’s world.
