Characters:
There are many different Characters in Lord of the Flies. Some are more important than others, but all are used to paint this bigger picture. Something more than just the Island. Instantly Ralph jumps in to the position of one of the main protagonists.
Ralph is this perfect image of a strong leader. Someone who can well put his thoughts into word, and has a voice that is well heard and strong. Ralph uses this ability of his to lead the boys. He does his very best but constantly has to fight for control. There can be no control with order.
This is where are antagonist comes in. Jack is the complete opposite of Ralph. Jack shows up on the island, leading the choir boys, and when Ralph is made the leader, the Rivalry begins. Ralph is this symbol of law and order, and Jack becomes the symbol of chaos and savagery. Ralph constantly tries to hold order, only for Jack and his Hunters to destroy it. This is where the main conflict between the characters comes from. The constant battle between order and savagery.
