His domain is the emotions, which rule and fuel his animal nature. The conflict on the island begins with Jack attempting to dominate the group rather than working with Ralph to benefit it. He frequently impugns the power of the conch, declaring that the conch rule does not matter on certain parts of the island. Yet he uses the conch to his advantage when possible, such as when he calls his own assembly to impeach Ralph.
For him, the conch represents the rules and boundaries that have kept him from acting on the impulses to dominate others. Their entire lives in the other world, the boys had been moderated by rules set by society against physical aggression. On the island, however, that social conditioning fades rapidly from Jack's character.
He quickly loses interest in that world of politeness and boundaries, which is why he feels no compunction to keep the fire going or attend to any of the other responsibilities for the betterment or survival of the group. The dictator in Jack becomes dominant in his personality during the panic over the beast sighting on the mountain.
In trying to get Ralph impeached, he uses his rhetorical skills to twist Ralph's words. Ralph blows the conch, they come running, someone would say to build a jet, submarine, or a TV set, they would work for five minutes, then run off What does Jack want food wise? Meat What is Ralph suggesting when he questions what Jack is doing? Its useless Why are the boys building shelters? For protection from the rain and for the littleuns because they have nightmares, talk and scream What does Simon say about the beast?
Went to take a bath Why did Jack agree with Ralph when he said that Simon was funny? For the sake of agreeing on something What did Jack do to relieve his stress? Take a bathe with Ralph Where did Jack go after the bath? He went to the mountains to catch a pig What did Simon do when the boys went up the mountain? Stopped and then went to the acres of fruit trees where the littleuns begged for fruit Where did Simon go?
To a spot with lots of sunlight and a great mat to sit on Lord of the Flies Flashcards. Why is Jack obsessed with killing a pig for meat? Jack wants to prove a point that he is contributing to the island. His job is to hunt, and he wants to prove the point that he can hunt by killing a pig for meat.
He is also trying to avenge himself, because the previous time he was not able to kill the pig. The fact that Ralph is carrying a stick sharpened at both ends at the end of the novel symbolises his complete descent into savagery.
Ralph and Jack engage in a fight which neither wins before Piggy tries once more to address the tribe. Any sense of order or safety is permanently eroded when Roger, now sadistic, deliberately drops a boulder from his vantage point above, killing Piggy and shattering the conch.
Jack taunts Piggy by mimicking his whining voice. Jack feels that he is doing something important in hunting, but Ralph feels that it shows little gain and that he, Simon, and the rest are stuck with the work of building shelters.
Some of the problem may simply be the desire for power and control. Jack feels that meat is more important than rescue.
Lord of the Flies Birthmark Kid — Burned alive. Pilot — Gunned down by an enemy plane. Piggy — Skull crushed when Roger dropped a boulder on him.
