“Insecurity is your intuition telling you that's something's not right… either with them or with you.” Insecurity is uncertainty or anxiety about oneself or lack of one's confidence. In the book, “ Lord of the Flies”, 25 boys are put on an island with no adults and no one to care for them.

In the book, Jack tries to act like this person, but if when the boys got to know him and were able to look past his fake bravery, they saw the person Jack was inside. The crack on the mask shows the small peephole into Jack’s true, quiet, inside. The big eye has a single tear to show Jack’s rejection and depression because of it. The white around the eye shows that he used to be a pure and sweet child, while the black shell covering it shows off what the island made him
