![]() ![]() As you can see, the savage side of human would not be activated without a reason. The instinct of savagery is in all every human beings, some are just haven’t been activated. Accordingly the boys successfully become savages. The outward appearance of the boys became unacceptable as the novel progressed, “…hair much too long, tangled here and there, knotted round a deal leaf or twig clothing, worn away, stiff his own with sweat, put on, not for decorum or comfort but out of custom the skin of the body scurfy with brine…” The appearance is a reflection of the boys’ inward state towards savages. Children without adult are just like the society with out laws. There aren’t any adult on the deserted island, they boys were in the condition of helplessness. These frantic behaviors has pushed the boys a step closer to the savages.ĭay after day, the boys became less and less civilized. In comparison of the appearance Jack presented now with the beginning, he wore the uniform and marching in a queue, he had gone way wilder than that time. Now, Jack’s appearance had completely turned up side down due to he needs to hid in the bushes and hunt pig in order to obtain the basic needs of food. This quote proved Jack’s action had become less and less civilized. “He began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling”(Chapter 4). Compare with the beginning of the story, Jack were much more wild on his behavior and became more savage like on his appearance. But usually in public we will always behave in our best manner and dress suitably. ![]() In civilized society people will dress and behave dependents on the different type of occasions. The simplest solution to differentiate savagery and civilization would be by the appearance of looks and behavior. But the instinct of civilization in the boys did not last long, they gradually became more and more savagery as time passed. ![]() “They knew very well why he hadn’t: because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh because of the unbearable blood.” (Chapter 1) Jack fears killing the pig in chapter one, a fear he overcomes as he sheds civilization and adopts the way of savage. ![]() Therefore the reaction they presented on the island would obviously related to the education they had received. Their parents teach them how to behave in specific manner, dealing problems in specific way. They try to keep the way of life they use to have in the civilized society. The boys are extremely civilized at the beginning of the story. The English schoolboys degenerated from civilized to savages through many stages. It proved human could degenerate base on the environmental impact. The fact of the inhospitable condition of the island he’s character changed from afraid of killing animals to cure and brutal through the book. Jack is one of the main characters in the book. The English schoolboys in “ The Lord Of Flies” would be a typical example of environment impact, which lead them to the point of savagery. I believe the savagery facet of human would only present base on the social influences and environmental impact. Unfortunately they failed and end up in internecine conflict. They tried to govern themselves establish laws in order to maintain civility. They were trapped on a deserted island with out adult after their plane crushes. It is about the process of a group of civilized English schoolboys degenerated to savages. So, are human savages since being born? “The Lord of Flies” by William Golding will be the book I am going to referring to in this essay. All children have an instinct of savagery in their innermost heart that are waiting to be release someday in their life. None of the grownups ever cogitated the concealed instincts under their exterior that had been well camouflaged. The world may have a stereotype attitude of children’s nature reckoned to be benevolent, naive, and chaste.
