Why does Jack command the boys to dance and chant, and why is this an effective leadership tactic? What psychological effect does dancing and chanting have on the boys? Jack orders the boys to dance and chant as they obey happily. By doing this they are no longer thinking straight and immersing themselves wholly with the excitement of being a hunter and being apart of Jack's tribe. When Jack calls his tribe to the 'pig dance', it is also taking the attention away from Ralph and his beliefs of their being a big storm, and back to the tribe and Jack. He is able to make the boys listen to him and not respond to what Ralph has to say. In the end, their little dance and game turns into something a lot more sinister. |

I agree and I think that Jack orders the boys to dance and chant as they lose touch of their morals and become caught up in a frenzy. The excitement and adrenaline from the dance impacts greatly on the boy's psychological state and makes them do something awful and savage. |

Jack is trying to get the boys to just do whatever he wants. By getting them to dance and chant the boys no longer have freedom to think for themselves. Jack is doing whatever he can to be head of the boys on the island and knock Ralph of his perch. |

He must know that the boys lose sense of reality when dancing and chanting, so uses it as a method to gain power. This could backfire on Jack if the boys become completely savage and forget about the social statuses. |

Dancing and chanting under Jack's command steals the boys' freedom to think for themselves, but may also bring them together as one and make them feel privileged, as this chant is only voiced by them. This bond decreases the chances of any boy leaving Jack. |

I also think that the boys kind of get into a trance, and their mad desire to kill possesses their minds, turning them into mindless savages. |

This is an effective tactic as the boys follow because it is a fun thing to do, and they are follow quickly as the idea is exciting. But Jack is at the same time able to somewhat brainwash the boys and convince everyone, including Piggy and Ralph to join in. |

They became so wrapped up in the dance and chant they didn't think about their actions. |

Jack commanding the boys to dance and chant shows how much power and control he has over the other boys. The chanting and dancing excites the boys, making them feel as though following Jack is fun. |

It makes it really easy for Jack to command the boys while they're dancing because the boys might interpret his orders as part of a game. Also, since the boys find the dancing and chanting really fun it could affect them psychologically by making them believe that whatever they do while dancing is just a game and their actions have no consequences. This can lead to them doing something really evil without even realising it. |

Jack's aim with this is to almost confuse the boys into not thinking for themselves, due to the excitement and adrenaline the situation provides them with. |

I think it is because of the chanting that the boys are in a sort of trance because it is almost as if it is a sacrificial chant to The Lord of the flies and in a way, the chanting has Let the beast inside them take over. |
