What role does the conch shell play in the election in lord of the flies?
The conch is a very big and important symbol throughout the whole book, linked to several characters as well. During the election of the boys' leader, the conch was in the hands of Ralph. After putting it down, he was still looked up to as a leader, because almost all of the youngest boys leaned towards Ralph. Ralph seemed to be the symbol of the conch, where he radiated leadership and was in fact the first person (after Piggy) who found the conch. The other boys saw him carrying it, and perhaps the author suggests that they linked the conch to Ralph automatically. As for the older and oldest boys, most of them looked up to him as well, but notice that Jack's choir boys voted for Jack only. To Jack the conch was a symbol of leadership, but only that. He saw it as an object which Ralph did not deserve, and the conch was mostly quabbled over like the last chicken leg of the dogs' dinner.
