What is Roger in the book Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

Roger is described in the book as, and I quote... There was a slight, furtive boy whom no one knew, who kept to himself with an inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy. Roger is a sadist who takes pleasure in inflicting pain on other boys and on pigs. He is the personification of true evil. He knows what he does is wrong but he simply doesn't care, in fact he might even enjoy his actions even more because of this.

Answer 2

Roger in the Lord of the Flies, is at first portrayed as a quiet and shy boy. However as the book goes along it becomes clear the he is brutal and cruel at heart. It is stated that the only reason he did not hurt people in society is that he gets in trouble (when he throws rocks at another kid) Roger eventually gets over his memory of society law and begins to show his true colors. Roger is a very troubled person he thoroughly enjoys torturing and killing. At one point Roger plans to (and would have if circumstances hadn't prevented it) kill another kid a shove his severed head on a stick.

Answer 3

He become more evil, the most evil boy in the story. He saw that Jack had a lot of power by beating the boys and being a bully. Roger then takes it too far by actually killing Piggy (he was the one who pushed the boulder on Piggy) and wanting to kill Ralph towards the end of the book.

Answer 4

Roger, who was described as being a furtive boy who kept to himself with an inner intensity of avoidance and secrecy, said very little. Porbably his most characteristic remark was when Jack began to poke Sam rhymically in the ribs after the twins were captured. Roger edged past Jack and said simply "That's not the way." The implication being that he knew (from experience?) a much more painful way of questioning the twins. Later when at least one of the twins had disclosed Ralph's hiding place in the thicket Roger was heard to say, and I quote... "If you're fooling us---" Immediately after this, there came a gasp, and a squeal of pain.

Answer 5

Roger trampled through a sand structure which was being played with by three littluns. Roger didn't do it accidentally, he did it deliberately. A little later Roger threw stones at the littlun called Henry. Roger seemingly wanted to actually hit the small boy and cause him pain but was subconsciously conditioned by years obedience to adult rules to throw the stones wide of the target. The two incidents revealed the Roger was a boy who got pleasure from hurting and upsetting others. Quite simply Roger was a sadist who, once he'd got over his subconscious obedience to laws and rules which he didn't want to obey, would become an extremely unpleasant and dangerous boy.

Answer 6

Roger is a character, who at first since he is part of the chorus is loyal to Jack. But as the book proceeds he changes into an abusive biggun who still supports Jack but also pushes for his own.

Answer 7

"kill the pig, slit her throat, bash her in!"

Answer 8

Roger is the dull boy who bullies the littluns and is on Jack's side.
