William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies" tells the story of a group of English boys isolated on a desert island, left to try to preserve civilization. In the novel, Golding shows one of the boys, Jack, changing significantly. At the beginning of the book, Jack's character desires power, and although he does not obtain it immediately, he maintains the values ​​of civilized behavior. However, as the story progresses, his character becomes wilder, abandoning society's values. Jack uses his fear of the beast to control the other boys and changes to become the book's representation of ferocity, violence, and dominance. He initially becomes obsessed with hunting, which leads to a change in his physical appearance. This change in character is significant as it leads the other boys to savagery, representing Golding's point of view on the existence of an evil and ruthless nature for every human being. In the novel "Lord of the Flies", the reader can see the change in Jack's character as his obsession with hunting grows. As leader, Ralph gives Jack and his choir boys the responsibility of foraging for the rest of the group. We see that in Jack's first hunting attempt, civilization holds him back, so he doesn't have the ability to slaughter the pig. You can see it where it says: "They knew very well why he hadn't done it: because of the enormity of the knife that came down and cut the living flesh, because of the unbearable blood." However, we see his nature change and soon his concern for hunting increases greatly. At the beginning of chapter three, Golding portrays Jack as having animal-like features such as "flared nostrils" and describes him as "dog-like" and "ape-like". It can therefore be interpreted that Jac...... places the card in the center ......and begins a wild song, dancing around a fire. Towards the end of the book, the reader can fully see Jack's brutal and savage nature as he orders a fire to be set to kill Ralph. This extreme growth of Jack's left side is very significant as it is what gives him the ability to have control over the group. It is also important because Golding shows that human nature can be ruthless and that there is a good and bad side to each of us. In conclusion, we can see how Jack's character changes throughout the novel and why this is so significant. Without these changes, Jack would not have been able to gain power over the boys and influence them to become more wild like him. It is also very important that Jack's character changes as Golding is able to show that he completely regresses from civilization which represents that all humans can become savage and evil..
