In chapter 1 of Lord of the Flies, Jack does not kill the pig with his knife because he's still innocent at this point in the book and cannot bear to actually cut into living flesh. However, as time proceeds, Jack adopts a much more savage personality.

He tells the hunters that the beast that they killed was in disguise, and so he says they did kill it. In fact, the beast in disguise is actually Simon.

Why does jack hesitate to kill the piglet in the lord of the flies?

Because he doesn't like him Its sort of a Logic and Intelligence(Piggy) vs. Bloodlust and Savaregy(Jack) thing that Golding might've thought of. Basically Jack wants to have power and be the leader. At a time when he feels that he has just proven his prowness as a hunter Ralph has reasserted his own leadships over the incident of letting the fire out. Jack has already punched Piggy, who he dislikes but also sees as an easy target and a way of getting at Ralph. Jack then refuses to give Piggy any meat as a further display of his own power. Jack killed the pig and Jack chooses who eats it, not Ralph.

What is the paradox of the boys' attitude toward the beast in Lord of the Flies?

The whole saga started when the littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face reported seeing a snake-thing that came in the night and tried to eat him. Although the rest of the boys laughed at the littlun, his words seemed to echo among them, perhaps igniting similar fears they also had. With no adults to allay their fears and spending nights in pitch darkness, while strange noises sound eerily for the jungle, the childish fears of the boys feed on themselves. Pretty soon the laughable idea of a single littlun had spread and Jack tells Ralph that his hunters are talking about a 'beast.' He also adds that sometimes when he is in the forest alone he feels that he is being hunted rather than hunting. At a meeting, called by Ralph with the intention of ending the talk of a beast once and for all, wild ideas about giants squids and ghosts surface and the meeting ends in a vote in favour of the existence of ghosts. Next Samneric mistake the body of a parachutist on the mountain top for a beast with wings and claws. Jack adds further weight to the belief by leaving the pigs head as an offering to placate the beast as if it were a primitive God or Demon. Even when they killed Simon, after mistaking him for the beast, Jack simply said that the beast disguised itself, implying that it had supernatural powers and could not be killed. So, the original nightmarish fears of one scared little boy had grown and festered until almost every boy on the island had come to believe that there really was a beast.

Jack simply ignored the fact that they had murdered another boy and dismissed the entire episode as some sort of trick played on them by the beast, which he claimed came in disguise. Jack implied that in some way the beast was immortal and that they could not hope to kill it so they should be on their guard in case it returned.
