- Jack
- Showed signs of savagery in
Chapter 1. Still clinging on to a tiny
bit of civilisation, which prevented
him from stabbing the piglet.
- "They knew very well why he
hadn’t [killed the piglet] : because
of the enormity of the knife
descending and cutting into living
flesh; because of the unbearable
blood."

- Other Characters
- Piggy
- Clung on to
civilisation. Acted as
a voice of rationality
and reasoning.
- His death (along with the conch) represents
the end of civilisation, and the boys were left
on their own, with no more 'grown-ups' with
them. (Piggy's role was similar to that of a
grown-up, as he possessed greater
intelligence that any of the others.)

- Roger
- When throwing rocks at
Henry's direction, Roger
made sure that he
avoided Henry
completely.

was the protection of
parents and school and
policemen and the law."

first. As the novel progresses, Roger drifts
towards savagery (with 'delirious
abandonment'), resulting in him pushing
the rock that killed Piggy.

- The shattering of the conch
represents the end of
civilisation on the island.
