    In the story Jack is innocent and behaves like he still in the world of grownups. When he first enters the story he makes the choir wear their school uniforms even though it is unbearably hot. As soon as he sees Piggy he says “Shut up fatty” (pg.21), which shows him becoming meaner and not acting like he would if he were with an adult. Jacks first attempt to become chief was dismissed and given to Ralph, which is most likely what began his dislike for Ralph.…

    Jack and Ralph each want to have power and will do anything to get it. Both want so much for the others to see them as their leader, and are in constant argument as to who should be the leader. Jack is envious of Ralph, as he is the chosen leader. There are significant differences between the two also cause many more conflicts to arise. While Ralph is focused on rescue, Jack is focused on hunting. This is portrayed clearly in the book when he is so keen on killing a pig; "'Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!'".

    Jack believes he best fits the leadership role: “‘I ought to be chief,’ said Jack with simple arrogance”’(Golding 22). When the tribe elects Ralph, Jack tries to exploit Ralph’s poor leadership compared to his superior leadership qualification: “‘And you shut up! Who are you, anyway? Sitting there, telling people what to do. You can't hunt…’”(Golding 91). Moreover, Jack even portrays a leader’s intellect and rationality as a flaw: “’He is like Piggy. He says things like Piggy. He isn't a proper chief’”(Golding 126). Jack believes that since he successfully self-defines as the essential barbaric tyrant, he fits the position better than the mild-mannered Ralph. Interestingly, although Jack typically despises Ralph and his inadequate leadership, when Ralph shares the leadership spotlight, Jack seems satisfied: “’What do you want them to be?’…’Hunters.’ Jack and Ralph smiled at each other with a shy liking”(Golding…
