chapter 3 intro

Jack is becoming more savage and has this inner desire to kill. He is sort of peeling back the layers of society that were holding back this desire and this is described as ‘seductive’ is showing that Jack is going to become aggressive.. His appearance has also changed, ‘except for a pair of tattered shorts… he is naked.’ This suggests that as he is peeling back society, he is taking off the things that it gave him i.e clothes. As well as this he backs described as ’peeling’ and this suggests that his back or his fundamental values(being his backbone) are peeling away. We are also learning more about Jack’s personality. He is very self centred and self driven ‘the trail and the frustration took him again’. He is looking at his society formed self and hating it this is shown by Golding saying ‘for a minute became less a hunter than a furtive thing.. He is becoming more savage and more driven by this inner desire to kill and the ‘maddening seduction’ of meat and killing another living thing.
