Paragraph 3

• The novel's primary representative of the instinct of savagery, violence, and the desire for power
• The more savage Jack becomes, the more he is unable to control the rest of the group
• Jack's love of authority and violence. How they are closely connected to both enable him to feel powerful and dignified.
• How Jack uses the boys fear of the beast in order to control them and create a mob group of savages under his command. How religion and dictatorship can be used as a device to gain power.

Conclusion

• The character that developed most dramatically and unforgettably from one of the most civilised English boys, to the leader of the savagery mob.
• The unavoidable change from civilization and happiness to savagery and instincts. The effects of placement without laws and rules that creates a lack of understanding that direct authority provides.
