What is the significance of the chapter title The Shell And The Glasses in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

Taken literally the gift might be the sow's head and guts left as an offering to the beast by Jack. Symbolically the gift is probably Jack himself. By giving credence to the imagined beast and treating it as a primitive god Jack has in effect given himself over to the real beast, the darkness or evil within himself.

Answer 2

The shell and the glasses both act as important metaphors throughout the novel. The shell represents the chance of law and order on the island (as it is used for meetings and it is a rule that whoever is holding it may speak). It is the boys' only symbol of adult order and authority. The glasses are a symbol of voice and reason. They are used to solve problems, like the lighting of the fire, the boys' only chance of rescue.

Answer 3

In "Lord of the Flies", the chapter title "Cry of the Hunter" has several meanings. Jack and the rest of the boys are stalking Ralph with plans to murder him. He is driven to the beach where he is exposed to the hunter by the light from the blazing fire they've set. At this point, he believes he will die and starts to cry and beg for mercy. Suddenly, a naval officer appears before them, all the hunters begin to cry because their ordeal on the island has finally ended.
