Lord of the Flies - Characters
A short summary of the main characters in the novel “Lord of the Flies”.
 |
| Ralph |
Ralph – He is our
protagonist, and a twelve-year-old boy. The other boys, whom were chosen to
deliver out tasks and such things, elected him leader. He got is mindset upon
building some sort of a small civilization on this island with these boys,
until they are rescued. Ralph pretty much represents the civilized instincts,
which Jack (the antagonist) is the total opposite off (savage).
Jack – He is our
antagonist (bad person); the narrator describes him as “tall, thin and bony”. He
is one of the oldest among the boys and the leader of the hunting party (set to
task by Ralph). He wants Ralph’s position as leader and is willing to do cruel
things to see his goals fulfilled. Jack is quite good at manipulating the other
schoolboys, and uses them for his own misguided purposes.
Piggy – He is Ralph’s
friend and lieutenant. He is an intellectual boy (also wears thick glasses),
but can be quite whiny. He is the rational one among these boys, and some might
say he is quite scientific too.
Simon - He is the shy one among
the boys, but probably the kindest among them. He is neutral when it comes to
the societies on the island, he does not agree with Jack’s behavior and irrational
thinking, but he also imposes Ralph’s to called civilization. He is the most
good willed among them.
Roger - Jack’s friend and lieutenant.
He is Jack’s equal when it comes to cruelty, and is one of the oldest among the
boys.
Sam and Eric (twins) – These two are
twins, and Ralph’s friend/allies. They are constantly together, and therefore
often called by the boys “Samneric”.
This was just a short character description, hope you can appreciate it
and please stay tuned for more Lord of The Flies updates. See YA!
Is it a coincidence that most of the children in the book are barely even dressed? or did Golding do this on purpose because of his sick and twisted imagination. But hey i`ll give him credit for something, it must of been hard for him to write a book while having a constant urge to rape someone, he probably had alot of "rapebreaks" while writing this book.
SvarSlettK peaceoutbye
they was in a hot place. The trees and bush would also damage the clothes! You need 2 think b4 u post you're stupid conclusions.
SlettThere are actually rumours that these children are actually drawings made by Joseph Kony. These children were first of all kidnapped for use in his guerrilla army of child soldiers. Secondly, he forced them into these positions so he could draw them and use them in his book, Lord of the Flies. It is unclear whether Sir William Goulding actually is Joseph Kony/Trygg Martin, but what is clear is that they are closely related. I'll stay alert for more information about this subject, it is obviously no coincidence!
SlettShut up Naphat, you have no authority here.
SvarSlettYou should be ashamed, you are openly supporting rape and animal rapistry.
For the rest of us, stay strong. This Trygg Martin will be dealt with eventually, we just have to keep being persistent!
Which character would you say is your favorite and why?
