The boy’s descent into savagery is demonstrated when Jack inconsiderately steals Piggy’s glasses. Once Jack creates his own tribe, he steals Piggy’s glasses to light a fire and boost his popularity among the new group, “[Jack] was a chief now in truth; and he made stabbing motions with his spear, from his left hand dangled Piggy’s broken glasses” (168).
