How does Jacks mask empower him and his tribe in the novel the lord of the flies?

Answer 1

Jack's mask entices Bill, Sam and Eric to let go of civilization and to give in to their primal, animalistic natures. For Jack, the mask frees him to pursue his suppressed feelings of violence, anger and savagery without accountability or fear of shame or self-consciousness

Answer 2

'The mask' is simply a coating of red and white clay, plus some black marks made with charcoal, which Jack applied to his face and body. The 'paint' serves two purposes. Firstly it serves to camouflage Jack's pink skin and help him to merge into the background and secondly it serves to separate Jack from his actions, so that he feels no remorse about killing pigs (or anything else for that matter).

Answer 3

Jack does not put on a mask. Jack masks his face with coloured clays and black charcoal markings. The intention was to camouflage himself from the pigs he was hunting but the paint which masked his face had the added effect. The paint acted like a mask, the wearing of which freed its wearer from any sense of responsibility, guilt, shame or remorse for his actions.

Answer 4

In "Lord of the Flies," Jack's mask serves as a symbol of power and authority. It emboldens him by allowing him to hide his identity, tap into his primal instincts, and instill fear in others. Additionally, the mask helps Jack and his tribe disconnect from their previous civilized selves, enabling them to engage in violent and savage behaviors.
