“For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first” ( Suzanne Collins). Suzanne Collins is an American television writer and author, best known for her best selling novel, Hunger Games. Collins explains that, for betrayal to occur, there would need to be a friendship, or feeling of trust. Since Jack quickly left Ralph when he couldn’t be leader, and fear of beast rose, Jack betrays Ralph by putting his personal needs over his loyalty to him. Just prior the Jack leaving the group he states, “I’m not going to play any longer. Not with you” (Golding 75). Jack finds it a necessity to be leader. The fear of the beast becoming more of a threat leads jack to betraying all loyalty he has to Ralph by putting his personal needs like being leader and fear of the beast first. During Ralph’s visit to Castle Rock samneric say, “They hate you Ralph. [Jack and his tribe are] going to hunt you tomorrow” (Golding 188). Jack is fearful of Ralph taking his only …show more content…
When Ralph comes back to castle rock to talk to samneric they claim, “You got to go, Ralph. You go away now-" (Golding 187). The constant fear of pain destroyed their loyalty towards Ralph, and suddenly when fear strikes they turn greedy and betray him. After Roger asks where Ralph is hiding, the twins respond by claiming, “Yes-Yes-oh-!” (Golding 192). Samneric's constant fear of being hurt by Roger is exposed when they give away Ralph's hiding spot, ultimately diminishing all loyalty towards Ralph. At the end of Ralph’s visit, the twins state, “We’re going to spread out in a line across the island- until we find you” (Golding 189). Samneric show the control Roger has on them by admitting to take part in the hunting of Ralph, overall showing no loyalty towards him. Samneric demonstrate their importance to survival by betraying Ralph and joining
At this point, some of Ralph’s followers have joined Jack and his hunters. This means that more of the boys are focused on hunting and killing and fewer are concentrating on getting rescued.
In some situations, people become violent because of their emotions. In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Junior leaves his school on the reservation to go to an all white high school. His Indian friends feel betrayed. He joins the basketball team at his new school and the first game is against the reservation team. The Indian crowd throws things at him and he needs stitches on his forehead. During the game, as Junior jumped into the air, he “heard the curses of 200 Spokanes, and saw only a bright light as Rowdy smashed his elbow into my head and knocked me unconscious”. (pg 146) After Junior left the Reservation, Rowdy felt betrayed, and became violently angry. His emotion of betrayal caused him to turn on Junior and act more evil. This is especially hard on him because Junior was his best friend.
It is in these games were the boys get carried away and Ralph feels a

As Ralph is trying to hide from them overnight, he wonders, “Might it not be possible to walk boldly into the fort… pretend they were still boys, schoolboys who had said, ‘Sir, yes, sir’- and worn caps? Daylight might have answered yes; but darkness and the horrors of death said no” (186). No matter how hard Ralph tries, he cannot discard his new knowledge of Jack and his tribe’s potential for evil and corruption. For a long time Ralph seems to be in denial; like many others, he seems to want to stay true to his belief in the overall goodness of the human heart. Ralph’s expectations for human kindness are finally challenged to the point of irreversibility when Jack attacks him and tries to pursue him on a vicious manhunt. When Ralph collapses on the beach and a naval officer arrives, “With filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, [and] the darkness of man’s heart...” (202). One might think it strange that rather than rejoicing over rescue, Ralph and the rest of the boys cry out in grief. The young schoolboys come to understand the enormity of human greed and evil, and unfortunately it is a lesson that they will not be able to ignore or forget. They witness and play a role in their own loss of innocence, and the time they spend on the island teaches them what

During the evening of the day after Piggy’s death Ralph climbs up the side of Castle Rock and SamnEric are on duty and they inform him of Jack’s plan. They tell Ralph Jack’s plan as they say, “They hate you, Ralph. They’re going to do you” (Golding 188). They later add, “They’re going to hunt you tomorrow” (Golding 188). This shows that Ralph is now very scared.

In the film Lord of The Flies, after a plane crash the survivors found themselves living on a deserted island which brought out certain societal norms with deviant behaviors formed in the different groups of the adolescents. Deviance is something different from what is considered to be normal or morally correct. The societal norms of the island were maintaining the same appearance and also having an aggressive attitude. Furthermore, there was more of a focus on long term survival as opposed to getting rescued. The societal norms started when, the hunters came back from a successful hunt bringing a dead pig to dinner. Once they arrived, they smacked Piggy in the head and broke a lens on his glasses. The reasoning behind this was, he was considered deviant from their group because he was not like them. He was not like them because of his physical appearance.
Ralph and simon that the rest of the kids horesplay was a bad idea. In the novel Golding writes, “Shouting that he is the beast, the boys descend upon Simon and start to tear him apart with their bare hands and teeth. Simon tries desperately to explain what has happened and to remind them of who he is, but he trips and plunges over the rocks onto the beach. The boys fall on him and violently kill him” ( ). This just goes to show us that the other boys’ horseplay and beliefs lead to bad things. Ralph did not take part in this act because he knew what was wrong.
Ralph ran and hid in the jungle as best as he could and now he was just waiting for the others to find him so he could attack them but, during that time he was thinking about all that has happened Simon and Piggy’s death,the destruction of the Conch and civilization along with
In William Golding’s novel, the Lord of the Flies, even though Ralph became chief of the stranded boys, Jack eventually rose to power through scare tactics, confidence, determination, and control. When Jack demonstrated his leadership skills, it was evident that he was superior to Ralph and would use his sense of Social Darwinism (survival of the fittest) and his oratory skills to surpass and isolate Ralph completely. Regardless of Ralph’s strengths, such as his conch, democratic maneuvers, firm motives, and kind demeanor, Jack’s mere presence ousted Ralph’s chances of taking effective leadership. By using propaganda against Ralph, gaining support from his partisan tribe members, and overpowering Ralph through his persuasive techniques and appearance, Jack clearly demonstrated how his leadership of the island was inevitable.
Trusting them, Ralph revealed where he would hide so they could help him survive by leading the savages away. Despite their loyalty, when faced with the decision of being punished or exposing Ralph’s location, the twins choose to sacrifice Ralph and save themselves. Roger and Jack ask the twins if they are “... ‘sure [Ralph] mean[s] in there?’ [then] the twin moan[s] faintly and then squeal[s] again.
