Scene Summary and Context
In William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies, a group of boys are stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. Among the characters, Ralph is portrayed as a natural leader, whose calm and authoritative tone often contrasts with Jack's more aggressive and commanding style. Piggy is depicted as intelligent and sensitive, often relying on his glasses and voice of reason. The characters' dialogue and descriptions reveal their personalities and evolving relationships. For example, Ralph's speech is often marked by clarity and authority, while Jack's language becomes increasingly forceful and assertive as his desire for power grows. Piggy's references include technical terms and emphasise order and logic. Short phrases like 'the conch' and 'the fire' symbolize the themes of civilisation and chaos. Understanding the way Golding constructs these characters through language provides insight into their roles and the broader themes of civilisation versus savagery.
