Jack Jack begins with a display of savage behavior that progresses as the book goes along. He was the leader of his choir group, who eventually become hunters. He loses his touch with society and overtakes Ralph’s position as chief.
Pigge Piggy is the character that represents order. He struggles to fit in with the other boys, because he is the only one who truly wants order. His glasses play a significant role .They are used to make fires and show his clear view of how this society should be.
Simon The sensitive boy; he represents goodness and self-sacrifice for the benefit of the group.

Conflict Jack vs. Ralph Boys vs. Piggy Piggy represents the weak who are often victimized. The boys tortured him because he was fat and wore glasses. His torture can also be considered a lack of understanding, because the boys had likely never met anyone with problems like his. This can be seen in the boy’s lack of understanding of asthma. They never give Piggy a chance. The main conflict is between Jack and Ralph. Jack is the leader of his school choir and he wants to be the one to lead the boys on the island. Ralph is the one who ends up getting chosen for the chief and Jack is not happy. Jack tries to obtain back his reputation by going hunting and trying to kill a pig.
Point of view The narrator speaks in the third person, primarily focusing on Ralph’s point of view but following Jack and Simon in certain episodes. The narrator is omniscient and gives us access to the characters’ inner Thoughts.
