What difference do masks make for Jack and the hunters?
The boys don't wear masks. Jack and his tribe paint their faces with red & white clay and add black marks with charcoal. The paint acts like a mask, helping to camouflage them when they hunt the pigs but more importantly freeing them from any responsibility for their actions. While wearing the paint the boys feel free to do anything they wish with no sense of guilt, remorse or restraint.
What is the significance of the title Painted faces and long hair lord of the flies?
It represents or shows how much the boys lost their identity. Jack woundn't have done those things without the mask on, and many times he is blushing under the mask when he says things. The only reason he says them is because no one will be able to see him react.Jack's mask is used to represent the unleashing of evil nature that the polite society leashes. The painted mask initially scares the hunter Bill, but he then laughs and backs away into the jungle. When Jack refers to the paint as "dazzle paint" he is referring to the camouflage used in warfare. This slight statement links his new identity as a shameless killer with those who are fighting in the war.In this context, painted faces indicate that the boys are merging with their environment, and becoming wild and uncivilized. They have adapted the colors and materials of the island as part of their identity, expression and face.
