History is full of examples of ordinary and apparently 'civilized' people doing terrible things under extraordinary circumstances, a doctor leading a death squad in the 1990s conflict in the Balkans for example, neighbours torching neighbours in Kenya, Rwanda and, in more recent days, India, pogroms in Germany and Poland during the Second World War and so on. Then we have experiments such as Milgram's, in which 'normal' people have been...

In Chapter 3 the personality conflict between Jack and Ralph is present, with Jack being the hunter/savage and Ralph the organizer/civilized character. Complaining that only Simon will help with the shelters, Ralph appears to be losing his place as a leader. Even Simon hides from him later in the chapter in a place away from the others:"With the fading of the light, the riotous colors died...heat and urgency cooled away." Simon...

The boys wanted to reenact the hunt of the pig that got away. Robert was chosen to act as the pig. As the boys circled Robert, they jabbed their spears at him and hit him. They became caught up in their play and begin to actually hurt Roger. Ralph, along with the other boys, loses himself for a moment to the “beast” within himself. This shows a change in the boys because they begin to let go of their obligations to protect each other. They...

Chapter 10 in "Lord of the Flies" is entitled The Shell and The Glasses. The "civilized" vs the "hunters" is a big part of this chapter. "Only Ralph, Piggy, Samneric, and some littluns remain loyal to the conch." The rest of the boys have given themselves over to the "chief," Jack. While Ralph and his group are trying to come to grips with Simon's death, Jack and his group are...

Chapter 9 included the death of Simon. In Chapter 10, the boys sort through the aftermath of that death and try to figure out what it means to all of them. On the level of the plot, Roger goes as a kind of ambassador to the other group of boys. Then, that night, Jack's tribe attacks the other tribe. They steal Piggy's glasses, which matters both on the plot level (he can't see as well, and they can't use them to start fires) and on the...

Originally, most of the boys looked at their plight as an adventure. Ralph is excited at the thought of no adults. They decide this is an opportunity to show the adults how "civilized" they can be. They pick a leader, and they build a fire for a smoke signal. Later the boys begin to fracture into groups. Jack and his group only want to hunt. They don't want to help with the work of setting up shelters, or keeping the fire...

On one level Ralph and Jack both decide to go and find the beast because they are the eldest, and the unspoken "leaders" on the island since there are no adults and no adult authority. On another level, Jack and Ralph BOTH have to go find the beast because to not want to is to admit fear or a weakness and that they are afraid of "something." This is a power struggle that begins to form between the two and will manifest...
