Civilisation and Savagery Flashcards
Civ. and sav. (para 1)
THROUGH THE BOYS’ ACTIONS, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS PIGGY
‘They looked at him with eyes that lacked interest in what they saw, and cocked ears at the drumroll of the fire.’
‘Piggy was surrounded before he could back away.’
Civ. and sav. (para 2)
THROUGH THE BOYS’ BEHAVIOUR AND WHAT THEY DO SUBCONSCIOUSLY (TURNING SAVAGE IS INEVITABLE)
‘He undid the snake-clasp of his belt, lugged off his shorts and pants, and stood there naked.’
‘… And for a minute became less a hunter than a furtive thing, ape-like among the tangle of trees.’
Civ. and sav. (para 3)
THROUGH JACK’S THOUGHTS AND WORDS
‘…the mask was a thing on its own behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness.’
“Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood.”
