Themes for 300 Why does Golding have Jack and the

others paint their faces with dazzle paint before going off to battle? Explain the deeper significance of this paint.



To relieve themselves of the guilt associated with completing taboo acts or acts out of a person’s typical character (i.e. by painting your face YOU are not truly responsible for completing the crime that committed with the mask on)

cruiser off in the distance. Explain what Golding was trying to symbolically infer by having the Naval Officer view this ship as he is rescuing the boys.

**100 point bonus: Where else does Golding show the same symbolic idea in the novel?



That although the grown ups promise rescue/hope for the boys (because they live in a world of civil order), they too struggle with same violent tendencies and innate evil the boys were faced with on the island.

BONUS ANSWER: This is also seen when the dead paratrooper is sent down as a “sign from the land of the grown ups.”

Lets get back to the game!!!!

Themes for 500 Golding shows Jack’s inclination towards

evil by having Jack behave differently during pig hunts through out the novel. How does Jack’s behavior change through out the work, and what does this change further imply?



Initially, Jack is too afraid to kill a pig when he has a chance (he is still governed by civilization, order, rules, consequences and authority)

Then, Jack paints his face and is able to kill a pig

(Jack is allowing himself to drift towards his true evil desires) Jack eventually violently kills a mother sow, placing her head on a stick (Jack

shows his true evil nature as well as his lack of insight in killing a sow) Jack eventually leads the others in the dance during Simon’s death (Jack’s

impulsive behavior and inclination towards evil allow him to discretely take a human life)

Jack encourages the others to hunt Ralph like a pig (Jack consciously encourages the others to take another human’s life)

THE BIG PICTURE: The longer you are removed from order/authority, the more evil you become
