How did Jack change in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

At first he is pretty calm, and he just wants to fight to be leader. Though, soon he realizes that everyone has elected Ralph, he accepts it. He slowly pushes farther and farther until he finally gets everyone on his side, except Piggy, Samneric, and Ralph, making him the majority's leader. As soon as he gets power, he loses complete focus, and only feels the desire to kill and hunt, leading to Simon's death, and not the desire to get off the island.

Answer 2

Jack changes from being an obedient choirboy to a power-hungry leader focused on hunting and control. As the story progresses, he becomes more savage and ruthless, ultimately leading to his complete rejection of civilization and morality. His descent into savagery represents a central theme of the novel.

Answer 3

He begins to become more and more savage. He gets a little bit of power when he is elected leader of the hunters. After that little taste of power, Jack wants more and more until he finally gets his own tribe of savages.
