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. I think that Jack's reaction is actually one of happiness, as he shouts out wildly after Piggy is killed and his death makes him even more bloodthirsty. |

Jack really has no reaction at all, he notices what happens then almost immediately speaks. "See? See? That's what you'll get!" Jack shows no emotions or any sympathy or sadness in this time which displays the savageness of him. Piggy was trying to stop the boys from following Jack, also he never liked Piggy, so this might have some impact on the reaction he had. |

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 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. I think Jacks reaction was really the last milestone the boys needed to reach before becoing completely savage. They took a human life and had, as allana said, no remorse or empathy for Piggy. |

Jack is not remorceful at all, and he seems excited but calm as Piggy died. This could mean he is turning into a ruthless leader who does not think twice to spare a life, and only worries about his survival.

Jack didn't really feel bad about what happened, he didn't even acknowledge his death. he only talked about the conch as if Piggy hadn't died or wasn't even there at all because Jack always disliked him and the way he approached things. Piggy's death was a trigger for Jack and it made him want to kill Ralph. |

I agree that Jack has turned completely savage. On top of showing no remorse about Piggy's death, Jack seemed sort of eager to use it against Ralph to scare him away. "See? See? That's what you'll get!" |

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 is used to the killing of his own kind now, and such an insignificant death in Piggy would not have triggered an overwhelming reaction from him. |
