What are examples of personification in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

When the boys first landed on the island, they still retained much of their civil ways. There was order, and a set schedule. As the story progresses, you can see especially in Jack and Roger how their human side decays. For example, Jack no longer cares about anything other than killing pigs, and Roger becomes more and more evil. I don't want to spoil anything, but if you have read the book, I'm pretty sure you can filling in the rest.

Answer 2

In chapter eight: Gift for the Darkness the boys hunt and kill a sow. To quote directly from the book... The boys drew back, and Jack stood up, holding out his hands. "Look." He giggled and flinked them while the boys laughed at his reeking palms. Jack literally has blood on his hands and simply finds it something to have fun with. In the first chapter he hesitated at the enormity of the prospect of killing a piglet, now he has killed a sow and simply finds it a source of amusement.

Answer 3

Jack continues telling the boys that there is a beast. This shows that Jack takes advantage of the boys by abusing their fear, and this also makes the boys cling to Jack even more because they think that he's this well built boy who's going to protect them (ethos! :D).

Answer 4

Lord of the Flies offers abundant examples of man's inhumanity to man. In Chapter Seven, "Shadows and Tall Trees," the boys play an impromptu game of 'kill the pig' after Ralph's spear glances.
