What makes Jack want to punish Wilfred?
As we are never informed what Wildred's suposed 'crime' was it is impossible to be certain what Jack's reasons were. However punished Wilfred was cerrtainly a display of Jack's power. He left Wilfred tied up for several hours before beating him, which would also have served as a example to the rest of the boys. Although Robert had no idea what Wilfred had supposedly done to earn him a punishment apparently nobody challenged Jack's orders, decision or right to inflict a punishment. If anything Robert and the rest of the boys seemed to have thought it was funny, which showed a readiness to acceptance physical violence inflicted by another boy. The punishment was a highly visible display of power and paved the way for further punishments and excesses if and when Jack saw fit to impose them.

What is the importance of Wilfred in Chapter 10 of Lord of the Flies?
The beating of Wilfred serves the purpose of illustrating the nature of jack's leadership. Robert knows that Jack got angry and "made us tie Wilfred up." He then mentioned that Wilded had been left tied up for hours and was going to be beaten but Robert had no idea what the reason for it was or whether it was justified. The tribe simply accepted Jack's orders regarding Wilfred, probably too fearful of the consequences for themselves if they opposed Jack's will. Roger learned of Wilfred's punishment with relish, as he visualised the possibilities for torture and punishment which he might be able to indulge in under Jack's irresponsible leadership. The unjust and disproportionate punishment of Wilfred illustrated perfectly the nature and direction of the society which Jack was building.
