Jack gets so angry when Ralph shows he is worried about Piggy because Jack sees Piggy as a weakling who is not fit to be part of the tribe. Jack sees himself as a leader and someone who is strong and courageous so he cannot abide someone who he feels is inferior. Jack also has a deep-seated resentment against Ralph because he is the chief and Jack is jealous of his power. Jack believes that Ralph is too soft and is not taking the lead and making the tough decisions that Jack believes the tribe needs to survive. He is also frustrated that Ralph is not taking the initiative to hunt and provide food for the tribe. As a result he takes out his anger on Piggy because he is the easiest target.

Ralph doesn't tell Jack about the glasses as Jack already knows about them, mainly because he stole them. Ralph pointed out that Jack could have had fire at any time if he'd simply asked for it but instead he'd come sneaking up like a thief and stole Piggy's glasses. Jack demanded that he repeat the accusation and when Ralph obliged Jack rushed forward and stabbed his spear at Ralph's chest. Ralph managed to block the thrust with his own spear and then swung it around to land a stinging blow to Jack's ear.


Why does Jack commit toward Piggy?

If you are asking "Why did Jack hit Piggy?" The answer is that Jack was elated from having just successfully hunted a pig for the first time. He felt on top of the world, he felt that he had proved his skill and ability before his hunters. Then his self congratulations had been brought tumbling about his ears when Ralph told all the boys that they missed the opportunity of being rescued because the fire had been allowed to go out. This was a direct result of Jack 'needing' the two boys who should have been on fire duty to join his hunt. While Jack could grudgingly accept criticism from Ralph, who was bigger than himself and also the elected leader, when Piggy also spoke out against him it was a step to much. Jack could not accept losing face before his hunters by allowing a fat and unpopular boy to verbally chastise him without response. So, Jack punched him. Piggy was an easy target who was unlikely to fight back and who was unlikely to attract too much support. Jack was therefore able to unleash his anger and also the frustration he felt towards Ralph but which he was unable to express in that direction.
