As the boys eat the flesh of the pig, the hunters retell and re-enact the killing. What does this reveal about their experience of the hunt? The boys get lost in retelling their story because of how much satisfaction and pride they have afterwards. They are turning more savage with an instinct to hunt after food. Becoming less of a resemblance to civilisation, they do not feel afraid of killing another animal. Even though Jack is still not completely comfortable, he makes him self sound tough and is enjoying the new experience. The hunters are unfazed by how society would think of them and are making large steps to survive on the island. The event also shows that the island is having a large effect on the boys, slowly turning them into savages. The boys enjoyed the hunt so much that it was disturbing. The chant that they came up with shows that they weren't fazed by the killing and the way that the personified the pig as a 'her' makes you wonder if they would kill a person with the same ease. |
