Jack As A Dictator In Lord Of The Flies

Decent Essays
Golding uses Jack, the protagonist, as a dictator. His way of ruling and wanting total control over the island shows that he likes to have total power over the people.Even though Jack is not organized at all, he has total control of the people that follow him. “Shut up, fatty!” (20). Whenever Piggy tried to say something or give his opinion, Jack would try to shut him up. This represents evil and violence, and because of his ‘rebellious’ personality, this makes him a really violent leader with unfair ways of ruling. Whether it be Simon, representing truth, or Ralph, who tries to keep the law and order on the island, he never lets anything get into his way and ideas on having total power without anyones opinion: “We don’t need the conch anymore.

    Jack is a character of extreme leadership and strict authority while Piggy is a character that takes a backseat role and an is an easygoing character. It is likely that those who he learned under taught him to act like a leader much like Hitler in that Jack took power away from the other power on the island. Jack demonstrated his authority of Ralph by making his own rival tribe in hope that it could become more powerful than Ralph’s. Furthermore, Jack uses this power to assert his dominance over other kids on the island, including Piggy. But while most would think Jack would leave Piggy alone because he is not an immediate threat to his rule, Jack abuses Piggy verbally and physically.…

    Jack’s craving for dominance leads him to undermine Ralph’s reputation by calling an assembly and declaring that “He’s not a hunter. He’d never have got us meat… He just gives orders and expects people to obey for nothing”(Golding 126). Jack’s decision to speak badly about Ralph unveils that he is trying to make himself look superior over Ralph. The fact that Jack is not scared to try and get everyone on Ralphs bad side suggests that he believes he is better than Ralph.…

    His authority is rooted in personality rather than innovation—he relies on Piggy for that—and he understands the importance of rhetoric in winning followers. For example, he speaks in the language of rescue, playing into the boys’ deepest hopes and fears to bolster his hold over them. Jack wields power effectively as well, and boys are drawn to his glamour and charisma. Jack’s leadership is rooted in intimidation, which appeals to the boys once the island turns savage. The boys’ negative reaction to Piggy’s physical unattractiveness emphasizes the role external personas play in establishing command; the boys’ don’t so much reject Piggy because he is ugly, but because he does not know how to play the role of a…

    Being completely unphased by the death of another human being, Jack sees Piggy’s death as he would see the death of a pig or wild animal. This proves how a lack of influence from authority and civilization has caused Jack to lose his moral integrity, showing no sentiment in response to a situation as such. With Jack wanting to eliminate Ralph so that there can be no dispute over who is the true leader, he sends his group of boys on a manhunt for the old chief. Jack rallies up every boy to go after, and kill Ralph, and “[smokes] him out [by setting] the island on fire” (192). Long term isolation from the guidance of civilized society and authority has caused Jack to completely lose his moral integrity.…

    Golding uses the characterization of Jack and Piggy as foil characters through Freud’s id and superego to emphasis the conversion of man from civilization to savagery. According to Diane Andrews Henningfield, a professor at Adrian College, “each of the characters personifies a different aspect of the human psyche: the id, the superego…the id (located in the unconscious mind) works always to gratify its own impulses” while “the superego is the part of the mind that seeks to control the impulsive behavior of the id.” Throughout the book, Piggy was the voice of reason of reason on the island and “seeks to control the impulsive behavior of the id.” When the boys accidentally set fire to the island, Piggy remarks,” won’t we look funny if the whole…

Finally at the end of the book, Jack has developed a completely primitive and savage mindset, to a point where he attempts to kill Ralph.…

    While not apparent, Golding subtly includes the suffering of Jack as he loses his innocence, descending from the leader of a choir group to the tyrannical chief of savages. Jack’s innocence is clearly displayed throughout the earlier chapters of the novel. Throughout the novel, his loss of innocence is highlighted in three main ways: his treatment of the pigs on the island, his physical appearance, and his hatred for Ralph, all which display suffering as an effect. By examining his treatment of pigs, a clear distinction can be seen by juxtaposing his behavior at the beginning and later sections of the novel. When venturing in the forest for the first time with Ralph and Simon, Jack could not kill the piglet; the narrator attributed his inability…
