What are Roger's early traits in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

Roger is described as being a questionable and seedy character at the beginning of the book. He is also generally mean, he destroys the "littluns" and throws rocks at Henry (missing on purpose).

Answer 2

Roger is initially quiet and reserved, but he exhibits a power-hungry and cruel nature early on with his actions such as throwing rocks at Henry and destroying the sandcastles. These traits foreshadow his later descent into savagery as the boys on the island lose their sense of civilization.

Answer 3

He was closed off and quiet, bit dark and rude too.
