Chapter 4- Painted faces and Long hair Flashcards
Used now to stomach-aches and…
…a sort of chromic diarrhoea.
-As a result of this violent encounter wit the plane crash.
Roger remained…
…watching the littleuns.
-Hints how he is seem to be a mature being at the start but this is ironic when he plans to throw stone at the littleuns.
Roger gathered a handful of stones…
…and began to throw them.
-This conveys how all of a sudden, he wishes to inflict pain to the littleuns. Hints his sadistic tendencies.
Here, invisible yet strong…
…was the taboo of the old life.
-Roger is feeling the prohibition associated with his past life.
Roger smiled, unwillingly…
…you don’t look half a mess.
-Roger encourages the new barbaric look.
Behind which Jack hid…
…liberated from shame and self-consciousness.
-Embraces his savage nature without guilt or embarrassment.
Oh God…
…Oh God!
-Religious imagery, the fire is dead, resulting in perhaps him aiming to get someone great like God, as a last resort, for the signal fire.
Come back!…
…Come back!
-Hints this urgency to be saved.
Kill the pig. Cut her throat…
…Spill her blood.
-Conveys the division of priorities.
I cut the Pig’s throat, said Jack proudly…
…yet twitched as he said it.
-Hints how he has descended into savagery but it not fully used to being sadistic. He has not reached his maximum capability of evil.
There was lashings of blood…
…said Jack, laughing.
-Violent imagery, does not even affect Jack however, he finds satisfaction from it.
You and…
…your hunting!
-Not approving. Creating this conflict between Ralph and Jack.
Stuck his fist…
…into Piggy’s stomach.
-Deterioration of civilisation, conflicting with the one who stands by law and order the most.
One side’s broken.
-Civilisation is partially breaking down, visualised through the glasses of Piggy.
I apologise.
-Jack has not fully descended into savagery, still aiming to stabilise good relations.
