Language AnalysisSlide3
The forest near them burst into uproar. Demoniac figures with faces of white and
red and
green rushed out howling, so that the littluns
fled screaming. Out of the corner of his eye, Ralph
saw Piggy running. Two figures rushed at the fire and he prepared to defend himself but they grabbed half-burnt branches and raced away along the beach. The three others stood still
, watching
Ralph; and he saw that the tallest of them, stark naked save for paint and a belt, was Jack.

Choose words and phrases evoking feelings of panic and terrorSlide4
Jack being the antagonist of the novel represents the opposite of Ralph. Whilst Ralph provides shelter, security and optimism, Jack spreads savagery and fear like a virus amongst the characters. Savagery is the quality of being fierce, brutal or cruel. Similarly, a virus can be brutal as it can harm or damage ones health. Golding represents these two themes through the character Jack. For example Ralph is reluctant to call Jack by his name, instead refers to Jack as ‘him’. This
dehumanises
him, and makes him a savage as savages usually don’t have names and are just referred as monsters. This also represents that Jack was not liked or feared as the name is not spoken perhaps because his name brings apprehension so therefore caused impact to the children of the island. This supports him being portrayed as a virus. In addition to being a savage and a virus Golding also displays Jack as a villain as a villain is also someone feared. A villain is a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot, which Golding demonstrates through Piggy questioning “what makes things break up”, which Ralph later answers as Jack being the reason. This reflects that Jack broke the civilisation, which was destructive and was part of his evil plan to become the leader of the boys.Slide5
