The barrier between the two characters begins when Jack starts caring more about hunting than anything else. Jack is more of the chaotic type. He doesn't care for others as much. On the other hand, Ralph is much calmer. He cares more about others than himself. It is the characters opposite personalities that causes this "barrier".
The conflict between Ralph and Jack is directly an example of Reason Vs. Savagery or Superego (knowledgeable) Ralph Vs. Id (apart of your mind that is selfish and wants everything now) Jack.
jack takes the hunters and creates their own"tribe".
Ralph and Jack never liked each other. Once they met and Jack wanted to take the power from Ralph there was instant friction between the two. It's was obviously Ralph's job to be chief and Jack just expected to get it instead of Ralph.
It's so thickly coated with irony, Ralph's plan throughout the entire book is to keep a fire going to be rescued, Jack could care less. Also, Jack wanted to flush out the island with fire just to finish Ralph off, when instead it brings rescue to Ralph.
Ralph is elected chief during the very first meeting, which happens very early in the book.

Jack thinks ralph has no leadership skills, and essentially he thinks he is better because he can sing and hunt and ralph cannot
The vote was between Jack and Ralph. When all the boys voted they chose Ralph as their leader. :)
The argument between Jack and Ralph shows that Ralph values order, rules, and civilization on the island. It demonstrates his natural leadership qualities and his desire to maintain a sense of democracy and fairness among the boys. Ralph's willingness to engage in conflict with Jack also suggests his ability to stand up for what he believes in and his determination to do what is right.

Ralph starts to accuse Jack of being a thief and they start to fight.
In chapter 7 of "Lord of the Flies," Jack and Ralph's identities are becoming more defined and contrasting. Jack becomes more focused on hunting and power, distancing himself from Ralph's efforts to maintain order and be rescued. This creates a further split in the group, with Jack's followers embracing savagery while Ralph's supporters cling to civilization.
The Jungle
In chapter 4, tension between Ralph and Jack has risen due to disagreements over priorities and leadership. Ralph focuses on building shelters and maintaining the signal fire, while Jack is more interested in hunting and establishing dominance. These differing priorities lead to conflicts and power struggles between the two boys.
Samneric feel torn between their loyalty to Ralph and their fear of Jack's power and brutality. They are intimidated by Jack's tribe and are influenced by the fear and manipulation tactics used by Jack and his followers. Ultimately, they prioritize their own safety and survival over helping Ralph.
