Intelligence, reason, and civil order are destroyed in Chapter 11 of Lord of the Flies. Not only does the character that represents intelligence and reason get killed, the symbol or civil law and order is shattered. The thing that destroys both these things simultaneously is someone that doesn't abide by the laws of society, Roger the psychopath. Psychopaths don't abide by the rules of society and in this case are the force that destroys the last remnants of society.
Savagery is the new law of the land and there is only one boy left to oppose it, Ralph, and he's not in the best position to overthrow it at the moment seeing as he is the only civilized person left.
