When Jack first makes an appearance in chapter one he is leading, "a party of boys, marching approximately in step in two parallel lines" Further quotes whih indicate Jack's control over his choir, are...."The boy who controlled them"... "He shouted an order and they halted"... "boys began to scatter from close line. The tall boy (Jack) shouted at them, 'Choir! Stand still!' Wearily obedient, the choir huddled into line"...One of the boy's asks 'But, Merridew. Please, Merridew...can't we?' We are also told that, "Piggy asked no names. He was intimidated by this uniformed superiority and the offhand authority in Merrdew's voice." Jack later states that he should be chief because he is "Chapel chorister and head boy."
To quote from the book... Jack got to his feet. His face was red as he marched away. Piggy put on his one glass and looked at Ralph. "Now you done it. You been rude about his hunters."
JACK MERRIDEW - Characteristics Jack starts off as an assertive, proud and bossy leader of the choir boys, later evolving his ambitions, and becoming more and more competitive, and thus displaying another side of his condescending nature. His thirst for power has eventually led to his transition into becoming a cruel, tyrannical leader focused on pleasure of hunting, oppressing and intimidating his subjects. The face paint frees him from society's rules and accountability for one's actions. It further permits his safe passage into the savage lifestyle while hidden under the facelessness and anonymity of the paint mask.
No, during the fight on the causeway... (quote) 'Jack made a rush and stabbed at Ralph's chest with his spear.' Ralph however managed to avoid it. After Piggy was killed Jack (quote) 'Viciously, with full intention, he hurled his spear at Ralph. The point tore the skin and flesh over Ralph's ribs, then sheared off and fell in the water.'
