The narrator in "Lord of the Flies" suggests that Jack represents the world of savagery and Ralph represents the world of civilization and order. Their contrasting leadership styles and actions throughout the novel reflect these opposing aspects of human nature.
The two worlds that the narrator says Jack and Ralph depict in "Lord of the Flies" are the world of order and civilized society (represented by Ralph) and the world of savagery and primal instincts (represented by Jack). These two characters embody the conflict between civilization and chaos that runs throughout the novel.
The narrator does say that at all. To quote directly from chapter 3: Huts on the beach... 'They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling, unable to communicate.' Golding is simply using the term as a metaphore to suggest that Jack and Ralph are far apart in terms of their aims and the things which they find important. He is also indicating that they are unable to communicate their different priorties effectively to each other.
Ralph is the leader. Jack is the antagonist and rebel . Simon is the Jesus archetype.

Jack made no reply to Ralph's question and when Ralph turned away and led the boys towards the mountain Jack was at the back of the bunch glowering and brooding.
