Jack reacts to the pig with a mix of excitement and a primal sense of dominance. The hunt represents not just a means of sustenance but also a way for him to assert power and control over the group. His obsession with killing the pig symbolizes a descent into savagery and the loss of civilization among the boys. Ultimately, the pig becomes a totem of his growing ruthlessness and desire for authority.
