In the Lord of the Flies by William Golding he demonstrates evil. Within every soul?s lining lies the capacity for evil. This evil lurks about and is hidden deep inside almost every character in the novel especially in Jack.

This shows that something like killing a living thing is as important as being rescued probably even more important. Also Jack would sacrifice his live and the others of being rescued if he hadn?t killed a pig yet.
