Jack- In this chapter, Jack is portrayed as a king. He takes over his group and treats everyone like they are is servants. Jack even makes a dance up for his servants to chant and dance to. He sits on a throne and puts on make-up on his face to resemble a king. This shows how over time his hunger for power has got him to this stage where he treats his own friends like his servants.
Ralph- Ralph no matter what had happened earlier decides to go to Jack's group and try and help them out. He still doesn't care how they had treated him or betrayed him, he hopes that he could just control something that was going on.
Piggy- Piggy is still at Ralph's side and feels that Ralph should still have control over the group of boys. He however still hates Jack for everything that he has done to him.
Simon- Once Simon regained his consciousness, he walked until he ended up on the cliff where the body lay. He looked at the remains of the body and threw up, after bearing the body in his hands he took it to show the other boys that there was no beast just a dead body. As he walks up to the fire where Jack's group lay, the group saw the so called "beast" walking towards them and all the boys lept on Simon, stabbing and killing him.
Theme: Through Jack's overconfidence and vulgarian attitude, Simon was stabbed and killed after only trying to inform the boys that there was no beast. Jack's selfishness and greediness gained him leadership of the majority of the boys. The main reason the boys decided to join him was because he could hunt and provide them with food and drinking water.
