Lord of the Flies: Chapter 4 Response

Characters

In chapter four, on pages sixty-three and sixty four it says, "He looked in astonishment, no longer at himself but at an awesome stranger....He began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling. He capered toward Bill, and the mask was a thing on its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness." 

In this part of the story you see Jack in a new light. He used the face paint to camouflage himself, and it not only made him look like something different, but it turned him into something different. It made him savage, and chief. 

It says that the mask he made became a thing on its own, and he hid behind it liberated from shame and self-conciousness. As the author shows Jack, he is savage and ready to be chief.
