W.Evans  \nThese notes should be used as pointers to the directions that your thoughts might take. They are not meant to replace your reading of the novel, you must still do that yourself..  \nCHARACTERISATION  \nNever forget that we are talking about a group of boys whose maximum age is twelve.  \nRALPH  \nJACK MERRIDEW  \nPIGGY  \nDoes he represent all that is good in people? Tall, fair-skinned, blond hair, very athletic, natural leader although not that good a leader as many of his decisions are questionable, which ones?. He is middle-class, father a naval officer. Elected leader but not forceful enough to maintain position. Eventually he loses support and is reduced to the status of an outcast who must flee for his life.  \nRalph is an idealist and a dreamer. He needs Piggy to think for him. He finds the Conch but Piggy tells him how to use it. At the end of the book, he is a disillusioned realist who now sees his world and its inhabitants for what they are.  \nDoes he represent the worst in people? He is thin, tall, with red hair, light blue eyes and freckles. Leader of the choir, he becomes the leader of the hunters. Increasingly in conflict with Ralph and more particularly, Piggy, he breaks away, forms his own tribe and splits the group. He manages to get the support to do this by offering the boys the attraction of the hunting life and then by terrorising them. In the end he is the tyrannical leader of the community.  \nJack is a spontaneous, unthinking person who wants instant gratification of his desires. He doesn’t hypothesise (think through the possible results of his actions) and doesn't care'what if?'. He is a ‘me first' person, as most of us are. He is amoral in that he recognises no morality except what he can enforce. He has no worries about ignoring such things such as 'rights' and 'justice'.  \nHe is overweight, a 'Fatty’, asthmatic, cannot see without his glasses as he is short-sighted. He is an orphan who lived with his Auntie, a sweet shop owner, and is, from his language and manner, of a lower class than the rest. He is physically unattractive and wears a greasy windcheater.  \nHowever he is intelligent and thoughtful and is able to reason and hypothesise. He defendsand looks after the little’uns. A wise counsellor, he supports Ralph's attempts at democratic, parliamentary rule. After increasingly finding himself at odds with Jack, a person he both instinctively loathes and fears, he is murdered by Roger, who drops a boulder onto him.  \nSIMON  \nROGER  \nSAM'N'ERIC  \nPiggy's role in the novel seems to be heavily symbolic. As the only boy wearing glasses he has the means to light a fire. He also seems to represent the quality of reason among the boys and his gradual loss of sight, cracked lens and glasses finally stolen, and loss of influence which culminates in his death, shows the gradual degeneration of the boys. He refuses to accept the existence of a beast, as it is unscientific. For this same reason he finds Simon very strange.  \nHe is a dark, mystical boy who the others find 'odd'. He is small, thin, with a pointed chinand very bright eyes. He has long coarse black hair over a low, broad forehead. He goes barefoot. An original member of the choir (hunters), he will be killed by boys led by the choir (hunters) . He is very helpful and co-operative and the only boy to help Ralph build the shelters.  \nHe is one of the three boys, with Jack and Ralph, who first explore the island. He suffers from hallucinatory fainting fits(epilepsy?) and goes off alone when they happen. He appears to be capable of prophecy, and is the only boy who is totally unafraid of the beast. He will ultimately be a ‘scapegoat’who, at the point of telling the boys that the beast that they have seen is in fact, a dead parachutist, is killed by his ‘school friends’ during a dancing frenzy.  \nSimon has a high level of intuitive intelligenc","cbCairjOw64TxZsE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairjOw64TxZsE","pdf",310485,"English","# Characterisation\n## Ralph\n## Jack\n## Piggy\n## Simon\n## Roger\n## Sam'n'Eric\n## Other characters\n# Plot and Structure","[{\"question\":\"How should these revision notes be used when studying the novel?\",\"answer\":\"Use them as pointers to the directions your thoughts might take, not as a replacement for thorough reading and independent understanding.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the notes say about Ralph’s role and development?\",\"answer\":\"Ralph is presented as an idealist and dreamer who relies on Piggy’s reasoning, later becoming a disillusioned realist as his world and community are revealed.\"},{\"question\":\"How are plot and structure separated in the notes?\",\"answer\":\"Plot is defined as what happens in the story; analysis of plot actions is explained through characters, setting, motivations, actions, and the resulting events when those actions occur.\"}]","'Lord of the Flies' Revision Notes - Characterisation, Plot and Structure | PDF",1790596047]
