Ralph considers giving up leadership of the group because it seems like everything is falling apart. Remember the assembly in Chapter Five? He speaks, and the kids are rude to him. He insists on the rules, and nobody follows them. He insists on keeping a fire lit and tries to get people to follow rules for good hygiene (relieving themselves away from the food or where they live), and the kids laugh at him. Jack's challenge is part of the reason, of course, but it is more how the kids respond to Jack's push for hunting than just Jack. The way the kids focus on what's fun and what feels good in the moment rather than what's right upsets Ralph.
