Piggy & Ralph
piggy died at the end if the book
he keeps on saying piggy piggy and he lets jack and the other know his name and they teases him about it
Piggy is Ralph's best ally but he does not stand up for Piggy.
Ralph does not kill Piggy in William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies." Piggy is killed when Roger, another boy on the island, pushes a rock onto him, causing him to fall to his death. Ralph is not directly involved in Piggy's death.
Ralph is obviously the leader and Piggy is a followers, he likes to please Ralph. Ralph is also stronger and smarter, unlike Piggy. ..... Poor Piggy
He orders piggy to Get the names of every other child in the island.To quote from the book Ralph says... "Now go back, Piggy, and take names. That's your job. So long." To Quote directly from the book, Ralph says... "Now go back, Piggy, and take names. That's you job. So long."
Piggy used the word "democracy" to vote for Ralph, but he didn't truly want to because he preferred to support Jack.
To quote directly from the book... "He looked critically at Ralph's golden body and then down at his own clothes." Eventually Piggy takes off his wind-breaker and a lttle later, when Ralph was swimming in the pool Piggy sat on the rocky ledge and "watched Ralph's green and white body enviously." I suppose that the impression that you can gain from these quotes is that Piggy was not shocked by Ralphs nakedness but was perhaps made aware of his own short comings when compared to Ralph.
Ralph wants to get Piggy's specs back and Piggy wanted to kill Jack there and then.
Ralph admires piggy because piggy has a clear sense of things. He doesn't think about the negatives. And he doesn't think things that will get him scared. He states the truth and lives with it. that is what makes him who he is.
At the end of the book Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness in men's hearts and the death of his the true, wise, friend called Piggy. But I don't think that they were friends. Piggy attached himself to Ralph right at the start of the book although it was quite apparent that Ralph found him to be an bit of an annoyance but was too polite to tell him to 'push off.' Ralph found Piggy's advice useful and he as always on hand to remind Ralph what he had been saying, when he had his petit mal fugues and lost track of what he had been talking about. Piggy certainly benefited from being around Ralph, as he knew that without Ralph's protection Jack would have picked on him all the time. Essentially I think that circumstances forced Ralph and Piggy into an alliance of mutual convenience but I doubt that there was any real genuine affection. If anything Ralph seemed initially to prefer Jack and Simon as potential friends.
