Lord of the Flies: Jacks
built 214 days ago
Lord of the Flies refers to Beelzebub, another name for the devil. He is ... called the Lord of Filth and Dung. Throughout the novel, the children grow dirtier and dirtier, an outward reflection of their inner state. As their savagery and evil increases, they seek a symbol, a god to worship. When Jack and his hunters kill a boar, they have their opportunity; they leave the pig's head impaled on a stake as an offering to the beast. The head is soon rotting and covered with flies.

Note that the literal translation of the Greek word Beelzebub, a term used for the Judeo-Christian idea of Satan, is “lord of the flies,” and flies feast on dead animals and excrement. When Simon asks the assembly "What’s the dirtiest thing there is?" he looks for the answer “evil” but ... included in that answer is decay and death. Ironically, Jack’s excretory answer is partially correct.

[Y]ou could argue that the main moral theme of Lord Of The Flies is concerned mostly with the prioritising of ethics over politics. Golding himself claimed that the moral deals with the notion that any society must depend fundamentally on the ethical nature of the individual and not on the strength of a political system... well structured it might be. Placed in context with the film, it is likely that the affable bunch of children would have ever challenged Ralph's leadership, and therefore his social law and order, had Jack not imposed a threat and resorted to championing violent savagery.
