Other characters Flashcards
Piggy’s hair still lay in wisps over his head as though baldness were his natural state, and this imperfect covering would soon go, like the velvet of a young stag’s antlers.
The island hasn’t corrupted Piggy- he is still retaining his sense of decency, unlike the rest of the boys. He is still innocent and young. The link to nature and the idea that he will grow up.
Piggy watched him in disgust. “Like a crowd of kids-“
Piggy is horrified at bow the other boys are acting. He thinks they should be acting rationally and with intellect.
He could go step by step inside that fat head of his, only Piggy was no chief, but Piggy, for all his ludicrous body, had brains.
Piggy is intelligent and rational, but he cannot be leader because none of the boys respect him.
Below him, Ralph was a shock of hair and Piggy a bag of fat.
Roger no longer sees the boys as fellow humans; he has become so desensitised he sees nothing wrong with killing them.
Simon found for them the fruit they could not reach.
Reveals Simon’s caring nature and that he helps and values the littleuns, who no one else cares about.
Roger’s arm was conditioned by a civilisation that knew nothing of him and was in ruins.
At first, Roger does not aim the rocks to hit the young boys because he has been taught by society that it is wrong. Suggests that his inner violent nature is prevented only by the constraints of society.
