The hunters accept the responsibility of the fire.
In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, the responsibility of maintaining the first signal fire falls on the character named Jack. He is one of the main antagonists in the novel and takes charge of the hunters group on the island.
Jack says that he will split up the choir, his hunters, into groups and be responsible for keeping the fire going.
In chapter 4 of "Lord of the Flies," the twins, Sam and Eric, are supposed to be watching the fire, but they end up falling asleep because they are tired from their duties during the day. This lapse in responsibility leads to the fire going out and a missed opportunity for rescue.
In William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies," it is Ralph who initially accepts the responsibility for tending the fire, viewing it as a crucial signal for rescue. However, as the story progresses, this duty is often neglected by the boys, particularly by Jack and his followers, who prioritize hunting over maintaining the signal fire. This shift symbolizes the breakdown of order and civilization among the group. Ultimately, the struggle over the fire reflects deeper themes of power and survival.
When the initial signal fire was lit all the boys had helped to build it. In an apparently generous offer Jack volunteer that his hunters would take on the responsibility of keeping the fire lit in future. This announcement was greeted with appreciative applause from the other boys.
Jack and his tribe of hunters were responsible for moving the fire in "Lord of the Flies" as they prioritized hunting and their own desires over maintaining the signal fire for rescue.
In "Lord of the Flies," the fire symbolizes hope and rescue. It is initially a signal fire that represents the boys' desire to be rescued from the island. However, as the boys become more savage and lose sight of their goal, the fire also symbolizes destruction and chaos.
