Ralph- In this part of the story, Ralph and Simon join the hunters to catch the so called "beast". The main reason why Ralph wants to catch the beast is because he wants to prove to the younger children in the group that there are no monsters out to hunt in the night. When Jack asks if Ralph would like to join the hunters for a hunt, Ralph agrees. Mainly because he wants to regain his position within the group. The author doesn't make any further development in Ralph. He sticks with Ralph being a good leader and instructing the other boys. Even though the other boys are disobeying him, Ralph continues to try and give them orders to follow to maintain proper order.
Jack- The Author doesn't make any further development in this character as he is maintains his personality as before. However things have changed and now all the boys in the hunting group now listen to Jack and less to Ralph.
Simon- Simon shows some responsibility and bravery in this chapter when he offers to go back to Piggy and the younger children and tell them that they would be late as they had gone to look for the beast. This tells us that even though it was at night and a lot of the boys were looking for the beast, Simon was ready to go back to the beach and tell Piggy that they would be late.
Theme- In the fewer chapters the reader might get a feeling that the relationship between Piggy and Ralph might be improving and they might be working well again together. However things don't seem to improve as Ralph being leader still has no effect on the other boys in the hunting group.
