Ralph, Piggy, and Samneric all describe the night before very differently. Ralph describes the incident as a terrible murder. "Piggy" "That was murder" (Golding 156). Piggy on the other hand describes the night before as an accident. "It was an accident," said Piggy suddenly, "that's what it was. An accident" (Golding 157). Samneric don't really know what happened because they left early. "Yes. We were tired," repeated Sam, "so we left early. Was it good ---" (Golding 158).
Ralph describes Simon's death as murder and mentions that perhaps Simon was only pretending to be dead and still might be alive. "'Piggy.' 'Uh?' 'That was Simon"' (Golding 156). On the other hand, Jack says that Simon was disguised as the beast and the beast is still somewhere on the boat shaped island. "' The beast, might try to come in. You remember how he crawled. He came disguised. He may come again even though we gave him the head of our kill to eat'" (Golding 160).
With Jack placing an order to have Wilfred beaten, we may say that Jack's power has clouded his mind from simple human morality. "The chief was sitting there, naked to the waist, his face blocked out in white and red. The tribe lay in a semicircle before him. The newly beaten and untied Wilfred was sniffling noisily in the background." Jack is the sole leader of his tribe, they all obey him due to the terror he bestows upon them. "The semicircle shuddered and muttered in agreement" (Golding 160).
Script:
Piggy: "It's come! gasped Piggy. "It's real!"
Ralph: "Did you get hurt Piggy?"
Sam: "We gave them something to think about"
Eric: "When I woke up one was kicking me in the face. I got an awful bloody face, I think, Ralph. But I did him in the end."
Jack: *walked quietly and stole Piggy's glasses and lead the boys to attack them
Roger: "Have you found them?" (Follows Jack and attacks other boys)
