Ralph is the athletic, charismatic protagonist of Lord of the Flies. He is fair in appearance. Elected the leader of the boys at the beginning of the novel, Ralph is the primary
representative of order, civilization, and productive leadership in the novel. While most of the other boys initially are concerned with playing, having fun, and avoiding work, Ralph sets about building huts and thinking of ways to maximize their chances of being rescued. For this reason, Ralph's power and influence over the other boys are secure at the beginning of the novel. However, as the group gradually succumbs to savage instincts over the course of the novel, Ralph's position declines precipitously while Jack's rises. Eventually, most of the boys except Piggy leave Ralph's group for Jack's, and Ralph is left alone to be hunted by Jack's tribe. Ralph's commitment to civilization and morality is strong, and his main wish is to be rescued and returned to the society of adults. In a sense, this strength gives Ralph a moral victory at the end of the novel, when he casts the Lord of the Flies to the ground and takes up the stake it is impaled on to defend himself against Jack's hunters.



Another answer: In chapter one: the Sound of the Shell Ralph is described initially as the boy with fair hair. Later in the chapter a more detailed description of Ralph appears, and I quote.... He was old enough, twelve years and a few months, to have lost the prominent tummy of childhood; and yet not old enough for adolesence to have made him awkward. You could see now that he might make a boxer, as far as width and heaviness of shoulders went, but there was a mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil. Ralph was so overjoyed at finding himself on a tropical island that he stood on his head to express the deep pleasure that he seemed unable to express in words. Ralph quickly shed his clothes to fully experience the reality of the island, to feel the sand and sun against his skin. the only shadow over his pleasure was the univited and unwanted presence of Piggy, who kept pestering him with meaningless prattle and questions.
