    The movie, “Lord of the Flies”, portrays how man is naturally good, but can be persuaded in negative ways by someone bad. Jack’s cold, brutish behavior largely impacted all the others. From the beginning of the movie, Jack’s insensitive actions foreshadowed his behavior for the rest of the movie, such as when Simon fainted, and Jack said that he is fine and acted like it didn’t matter. Throughout the film, the other boys on the island were consistently being influenced by Jack’s uncompassionate characteristics. Although Ralph was voted as the captain for the whole group, most of the boys ended up being on Jack’s side and followed his bad habits. Even though Piggy was on Ralph’s side, he was also influenced by Jack. One night, Simon was killed because the boy’s because they thought that he was the beast.
