Does ignorance or knowledge bring destruction in lord of the flies PLEASE answer thanks?

Answer 1

From what I understand after reeding the book is that destruction comes when Jack becomes uncivilized and barbaric. In my opinion the answer to your question is ignorance for all Jack wants to do is hunt pigs instead of keeping the signal which was a logical thing to do.

Answer 2

In "Lord of the Flies," ignorance and lack of knowledge contribute to destruction. The boys' lack of understanding about how to govern themselves, their surroundings, and their true nature leads to chaos and violence on the island as they descend into savagery. Knowledge and wisdom are shown to be necessary for maintaining order and civilization within the group.
