A boy who is sadistic. He enjoys hurting others to please himself. He usually keeps to himself, especially at the beginning of the book. Towards the end of the book, Roger becomes more violent as time goes on. He first starts off by throwing rocks at a littlun. Eventually, he joins Jack's tribe where he loses all self control. He kills Piggy with a boulder that was not intended to miss. Roger is a killer, and anyone who takes the life of an innocent person is considered evil.
It seems to mean that Jack's presence was drawing out the evil in Roger.
At first Jack cannot kill. This shows that Jack is not entirely evil in the beginning. Roger, on the other hand, is pure evil. Jack's weakness is that he doesn't consider anyone else's feelings or oppinions, he is extremely self centred and thinks only his own viewpoint has any merit.
Roger as everytime he is mentioned he is doing something bad while jack has moments of regret
When Roger felt the taboo of the old life, it means he was starting to embrace the savage instincts that were suppressed in their previous society. When Jack approached Roger and a darker shadow crested beneath Roger's skin, it implies that Jack's violent and aggressive nature is influencing Roger to unleash his own inner darkness, leading him to become more brutal and ruthless in their new savage society.
It seems that Roger has become the unofficial second in command to Jack and also chief torturer.
Ralph, Jack, and Roger are very frightened when they finally see the beast.
Roger admires Jack's charisma and leadership qualities, which allow him to command respect and influence others. He is drawn to Jack's confidence and assertiveness, seeing him as a figure who embodies strength and dominance. Additionally, Roger appreciates Jack's willingness to embrace primal instincts, which resonates with his own darker inclinations. This admiration fuels Roger's loyalty and willingness to follow Jack’s lead.
That was Calico Jack.
Evil and Jack Blue - 2007 was released on: USA: 16 February 2007
The first hints of evil are when Roger throws stones at Henry, foreshadowing his later killing of Piggy. Perhaps a more obvious impression of liberated evil is when Jack paints his face with clay and charcoal. "His sinewy body held up a mask that drew their eyes and appalled them..." "He capered towards Bill and the mask was a thing on its own..." And perhaps most telling of all is the sentence... The mask compelled them.
In "The Lord of Flies", Roger begins to take on Jack's traits and reacts in the ways of his leader. Although he had always had a cordial relationship with Ralph, Jack's hatred of him eventually causes Roger to hate him as well and go along with the plot to kill him.
Jack has Wilfred tied to a tree before Roger beats him. Jack accuses Wilfred of being the reason for a failed hunt and allows Roger to vent his frustration on him.
