Main characters in this novel, Lord of the Flies, are Ralph and Jack. Ralph is the leader of civilized world and Jack is the leader of wild world. They both have unique characteristic, different perspective, different mind set, and different abilities so I really like both of them. Even though they didn’t work together that well, they wanted to control and make better society. They just have different views and opinions which caused collapse of the society. In the novel Jack seems like he is the bad and evil one but he was just trying to rule kids in his own justice. He did what he think is right. Not everything he did was right from our view, but he was just trying follow what he think is right. In the other hand, Ralph did more right things in our point of view. But he wasn’t determined and strong enough to keep everyone under control. He ruled the group as democracy. In the leadership wise, Jack has more potential but Ralph had more civilized though. If both of them had worked together, they probably had more fun, more comfortable time, and rescued when the first ship came to island. Ralph symbolizes democracy and weakness in power and Jack symbolizes dictatorship and powerfulness. Democracy took place by existence of couch. Whoever has the conch can speak and everybody should listen and respect them, but later everybody talked whenever they wanted to. When conch broke it was end of democracy and start of dictatorship Jack wanted to rule how he wanted to rule even before form of democracy. Jack wanted power. Ralph wanted justice.
