How Does Golding Present Ralph In Lord Of The Flies

An allegorical fiction book, “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding, takes place somewhere in the distant future, on the threshold of the next world war. A plane overturns on an unfounded island far from civilization. Amongst the stranded are boys ranging from toddlers to school age. The first characters introduced are Ralph and Piggy. Charismatic and good looking, Ralph is the main protagonist of this story. He is neither the most intelligent nor the most physically adept and represents order, development, and productivity. Piggy is the physically vulnerable, asthmatic boy, who is a source of virulence from the other fellows. With a high intelligence and a gift of reason, Piggy acts as the brains of the group.

Later in the story, it becomes evident that the conch represents the structure and law essential in civilization, and becomes a momentous symbol of humanness for the group. Using the conch as a means to emit sound, Ralph summons any remaining boys from the crash. It becomes evident that a single leader is necessary to maintain control within the group of schoolboys, and thus an election is held between Ralph, and the freshly familiarized Jack. Volatile, Jack is immature, egotistical, and in some ways, antithetical to Ralph. Ralph wins the popular vote, but his victory drives a frictional barrier between him and Jack. As chief, Ralph declares his first order to create a signal fire on the nearby mountain for passing ships to notice in the hopes of rescue. Jack, seen as a secondary leader, is asked to manage a group of boys whose sole focus is to hunt for the meat and pigs vital to the survival of the whole tribe. The group succeeds in igniting a fire on the mountaintop but quickly lose interest to playing around the island. The fire loses control, and flames begin to engulf the surrounding forest. The batch makes a recovery, and go about enjoying life. With endless freedoms,
