How does Jack, in Lord of the Flies, show leadership and a controlling personality?
Jack shows leadership when he, ralph, and roger climb the mountain even though they think that there is a beast on to. He also shows leadership when hunting for the pig because he cares for his people so much that he is doing his best so they wont go hungry.
Jack can be controlling. One example is when ralph asked his hunters to take care of the fire but Jack didn't want that and he took the hunters to hunt because thats what he wanted them to do. Another example is when he takes a vote for the next cheif. No one votes for him but he sets up his own tribe nonetheless.How does Jack, in Lord of the Flies, show leadership and a controlling personality?
From Shmoop Lit/Lord of the Flies
Leadership:
Jack is brave; Jack and Ralph climb the mountain to face the beast, one of many moments of odd camaraderie between the two.
Jack gets to swear, play war games, hunt things, and paint his face, without risking being sent to his room for playing rough and accidentally killing the neighbors.
Controlling Personality
But Jack鈥檚 lust for power, blood, violence, cruelty, and eventually his lust for Ralph鈥檚 death, qualifies him quite well as an antagonist.
