Throughout the first few chapters, Jack has always been a rood arrogant boy. He has a huge trouble with power and authority. At first, all it seemed for him to care about was being chief and in charge. Now, he is absolutely focused on hunting. It's part of his "tough guy" image. All of his comments are just to intimidate others and boost himself up. Such as, "We'll have rules. Lots of rules.", "Who cares what you believe-Fatty!" That reminds me, Jack has some kind of deep hatred for Piggy. The only thing that he reveals as why he would not like him so much is simply because of his weight and slowness. I'm sure it is something deeper than that, but for now, it just comes across as discrimination.
Another thing, Jack seems to only care about himself. Just listen to the way he talks to others, especially to Piggy. I can't help but wonder about his past at home. This must be something dug deep down into him. It's not just his personality. It can't be. Something must have happened long ago, and this is just how he deals with it. I am curious to see if he ever reveals anything later in the book. For now, we must wait.
I can't agree more that Jack is rude and arrogant. He's constantly trying to show his dominance over the crowd. My focus is evil, and Jack is currently one of the most evil. He begins bullying Piggy, but then it escalates to violence. I'm not very sure he has anything against Piggy besides his appearance. I think he just finds Piggy a very vulnerable target to pick on.
ReplyDeleteI dont know the fact that Jack bullies Piggy. By it is reversed a little bit. I bully you, but not nearly like Jack and Piggy. He is starting to get on my nerves with his driving force to hunt.
