In Lord of the Flies by William Golding what's the paradox?

In Lord of the Flies, the boys are scared of the beast. However it is clear that they themselves are the beast. They begin to lose their civilization and become savages. For example when they are dancing and re-enacting the kill of the sow, they lose control and hurt Maurice.


How did Ralph lose his innocence in Lord of the Flies?

Ralph in the early part of the novel cannot understand why the other boys would give into their basic instincts of blood lust and barbarianism. However as the novel progresses he (along with Simon) comes to understand that savagery exists within all the boys but is determined not to let it overwhelm him and so decides not to join Jacks gang to save himself. When he hunts boar for the first time he feels the thrill, exhilaration of blood lust and violence and when he attends Jack's feast he is swept away by the frenzy, which leads to him taking part in the murder of Simon. This is where his innocence is lost as he realises the evil that lies within him and all human beings.


What does jack's mask symbolize in lord of the flies?
