Question

Discuss the change in jacks personality that is described at the beginning of the chapter. What is jacks highest priority and what does this tell us about him?

Answer 1

Assuming that the book is 'Lord of the flies', Jack begins to take on the characteristics of a dictator. He quickly becomes less tolerant of Ralph's position as chief. His priority is to feed his primal need to hunt and kill animals. Jack has a disposition towards violence. He gravitates towards intimidating others and forcing his will over other living things.
