What does Jack's reaction to the death of Piggy tell us about him, and about what the situation has come to? Jack's sympathy about Piggy's death is less than none and he shows no remorse or sadness about what has occurred. He instead bounded about and scream wildly, "See? See? That's what you'll get!" Jack then moves to Ralph and threatens him before throwing his spear which cuts a gash over his ribcage. Jack has clearly descended into almost complete savagery and not only does he have no problem with killing pigs, but he now has no emotions about killing humans. Jack is in a situation where he feels like he needs to be a strong leader of his tribe and if anyone is threatening his authority he or the other members will have to do something about it. |

I think Jack has become an example of the leaders who kill others in front of their peers to show power, strength and leadership. By killing others, they exhibit their manliness and a sense of 'don't cross me or you'll suffer' sort of vibe. The thing is though, those leaders are feared but also hated. I have to wonder if the biguns only follow him because they're afraid of what will happen if they don't. Perhaps, they're actually all like Piggy, Ralph, Simon, Sam and Eric. They just follow Jack because they fear him and secretly, he is the beta noire of the island. |

What does Jack's reaction to the death of Piggy tell us about him, and about what the situation has come to? Jack's reaction to Piggy's death is non existent and he shows little to no remorse at all. He isn't saddened or even shocked by the death, instead he screams at Ralph saying he will get the same. This reaction shows us that Jack has turned complete savage and any shred of civilisation has been lost entirely. The situation has come to kill or be killed with Jack. |

Jack didn't feel bad about what happened, it made him want to kill Ralph even more. He didn't regard Piggy after the tragedy, only the conch, as if Piggy hadn't died or wasn't even there at all. Piggy's death made something click in Jack's mind and he is set on hurting Ralph.

Jack's reaction shows us that he has no sense of civilisation anymore and he has completely reverted into savagery. He had no remorse or empathy for Piggy's death and wasn't saddened at all. His only reaction was to scream at Ralph, telling him that this is his fate also. This portrays the situation as being the worst it's ever been, Jack will kill anyone without feeling remorse. |

Piggy's death made something click in Jack's mind and he is set on hurting Ralph. Jack has become totally savage as he goes after killing his enemies. He is set on killing Ralph because he wants no competition for power. Ralph is the only one left who won't follow Jack, so Jack's solution is to get rid of Ralph altogether. So after Piggy's death, Jack has made his point clear so no one else in his group will try to contradict him. |

What does Jack's reaction to the death of Piggy tell us about him, and about what the situation has come to? When Piggy dies Jack doesn't show any sympathy or remorse and says to Ralph that he will be next. This shows that he has no mercy when it comes to hurting others. Jack has now turned into complete savagery and finds enjoyment from killing others. |

Jack has now turned into complete savagery and finds enjoyment from killing others. this shows Jack's sociopathy. HIs complete lack of empathy is shown from his dismissal of Piggy's painful death. he uses Piggy's death, not as a warning that they are descendig into savagry, but as a threat to Ralph. |

What does Jack's reaction to the death of Piggy tell us about him, and about what the situation has come to? Piggy's death evokes no empathy from Jack, showing us how savage he has become. He yells, "See? See? That's what you'll get!", to Ralph instantly and proceeds to throw his spear at him. The situation has become wild and savage, and no sense can be talked into the boys. Killing one of their own is no more than killing an animal. |

Jack has become so savage that he instantly turns on Ralph, throwing his spear at him. |

This shows us that Jack is now nothing but a leader that rules through what he shows to his followers - through power and violence. |

Piggy's death made something click in Jack's mind and he is set on hurting Ralph. I think that Piggy's death is the last milestone Jack needed to pass in order to become completely savage. It shows he does not care one bit about taking a human life. Furthermore, Piggy is the first death on the island that was completely intentional and it was done by Jack's tribe, showing they are the real evil. |

This shows he will not hesitate to kill another human. |
