Jack: One of the more savage charecters in the book. Jack is leader of the hunters on the isalnd in an attempt to some what come to a comprimise with Jack Ralph gives him this title. Jack is one of the older boys and has shown little compasion for the littluns through out the book. For example earlier during a meeting he SCREAMS at the littluns. Calling them cry babies and all that good stuff. In my opinion Jack does not seem to have any real freinds on the island. The one I would have to say is the one that is most emotinaly attatched to him is probobly Roger and even he does not seem to care for him very much.
Ralph: The chief of the kids on the isalnd. Or more like chief of a tribe after Jack breaks of and starts his own tribe. Has shown reseliance towards the "beast". However lately has been showing giving in to the beast as he continies to bite his nails fiercely. Is very liked liked by much of the littluns but hated by Jack. Seems like a some-what intelligent boy but with Piggy aking most of the decisions.
Simon: Unlike many of the other boys Simon has shown 100 percent reseliance to the call of the "beast". That is until lately when he was "talking" to the pig head. Before hand he showed that his decency was not fueled by civilazation. Which is where aperantly where all the other boys seemed to have gotten thier deceny *which Jack has seemed to give up on* from the socity that they lived on. Simon seems to have a more natural drive for decency. I think that the pigs blood over some of Simon's tranquil grove is an example of indirect chaercterazation. As his grove seems to have been tainted it seems that Simon will be to.
Piggy: Piggy is Ralph's advisor and basically the brains behind him. He represents intellegence and scientific endevour in thier socity. Which in the begging his intellegence seems to create other positive symbols later in the group. For example his glasses created the fire which fuels thier of hope of being rescued. Also he came up with the idea of using the conch to keep order in thier society.
