“And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph

Piggy believes that he can persuade them to abide by rules and stand by Ralph, as he is an elected leader. However, they are busy hunting and painting faces. He urges them to abide by the rule and arrange fire for their rescue. Piggy, the only rationalist among the children, speaks these words to convince Jack and his hunters. “Which is better-to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?” The question of grownups is posed to remind him of the rules and laws of society. Therefore, he reminds Ralph of his responsibility and obligation to children. He knows that the others are becoming wild and savages. It shows that Piggy is the sane voice among the children on the island. Piggy speak these words to Ralph when he sees that Ralph is not calling the assembly and assert his authority as the leader. “What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages? What’s grownups going to think?” That is why Ralph is asking the hunters and other boys to become wise and sane, as fear is nothing more than a dream. He knows that only fear can win him the leadership which is in Ralph’s hands. He intends to make his case of hunting strong so that others could give him more importance. Ralph speaks this line in response to Jack who spreads fear on the island.

“The thing is – fear can’t hurt you any more than a dream.” The word “blood” shows that the hunters will soon turn to kill their opponents, as they are learning to spill the blood. It indicates slow degeneration of their civilized manners. These words are repeated as a slogan and as a provocation when they hunt pigs on that island. He has asked them to paint their faces, as they are all hunters. He has gathered some sturdy and strong boys around him. Jack, the opponent of Ralph, speaks these words when going on hunting. The same happens at the island where the young children are named “littluns.” It is a derisive term to paint the little ones as dependent on the older boys. This state of affairs leads to degeneration of governments. Then they are herded for those features and are controlled like cattle or animals. He wants to show that unimportant people are named after their specific physical features and characteristics. This omniscient narrator of the novel speaks this line. “The smaller boys were known by the generic title of “littluns.” When they meet, they are always wary of each other, as evil against good. However, on the contrary, Jack represents disorder, chaos, and savagery. Ralph represents order, civilization, and peace. They have young children with them on the island. This sentence is about Ralph, the leader, and Jack, his opponent. “They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate.”

But later in the novel, he leads a group of savage hunters who kill Piggy and hunt Ralph, their former leader. Obeying rules means that they are civilized and cultured. He also asserts that they are not savages and wild people. He willingly accepts that there should be rules and that they should accept and obey them. These ironical lines are spoken by the villain, Jack.
