At the end of chapter 5: Beast from Water Piggy told Ralph how he felt about Jack, I quote... "He hates me. I dunno why. If he could do what he wanted--- you're alright, he respects you. Besides-- you'd hit him." Piggy also said... "I tell you what. He hates you too, Ralph---" And... "He can't hurt you: but if you stand out of the way he'd hurt the next thing. And that's me."

Piggy explains to Ralph that Jack can be very dangerous to anyone who opposes his authority or challenges his leadership. Jack's thirst for power and control over the other boys on the island makes him a threat to anyone who stands in his way.
