Three reasons why Jack is your modern day ‘Bad Boy’

Leave a reply

It seems as if in the modern days, love is something that is rather easy to hear but very difficult to actually see.

The word love is thrown around so much and many times without meaning. (In the P.O.V. of a girl) It is especially seen through relationships that in the end, were never worth a penny. Relationships that were toxic, evil and bad.

Now to have a bad relationship you mus have one key component and in this case it is a Bad Boy.

What is a bad boy you may ask? It is a guy who has no care for the other person in the relationship, though contains some very appealing characteristics, that girls fall for everytime.

In the book “Lord of the Flies” there was one especially evil character and that was Jack. Now here are the three main reasons why Jack is your average “Bad Boy”. (besides the fact that they both do bad/illegal things)

—————–

1. He is controlling

Something that is always appealing to girls is a man who knows what he is doing and is confident while doing it. Women admire this because they love the feeling of them getting jealous or mad if they (women) come home a little late than usual or when they talk to a different man. Women feel protected by them getting mad and jealous. More reasons, are that they do not know any better, feel as if this is the best that they can do and they are scared of them.

Jack slowly starts to take over the group of boys in the early chapters and then becomes full force ‘Chief’ by Chapter 8. He showed leadership in times of crisis when the other boys had no idea of what they could do. An example is when the “beast” was hiding up in the mountain and Ralph did not want to hunt it, while Jack did and promised to the boys that he’d catch and kill it. Bringing to them a sense of safety. That was something that the boys admired about Jack is that he was always capable of taking control and leading them in the “right direction”. Additionally, they are scared of Jack and fear that he might hurt them or even kill them if they tried to leave the tribe.

 

2. He has his benefits

While Bad Boys are controlling and that may have many negatives, one thing they do have is a way to keep you with them. That way may be in the form of spoiling you every so often with presents and gifts to show his “affection” towards you.

In the “Lord of the Flies” there was one thing that Jack’s tribe possessed that Ralph’s did not. Meat! That was something that the boys loved about Jack is that they always received as much meat and drinks as they wanted. They were always fully nourished and hydrated. Furthermore, Jack also supplied them with the hope of finding the beast and some kind of feeling of safety, that Ralph ceased to provide.

 

3. He changes you / is hypnotizing

The final obvious traite of a “Bad Boy” is that he changes who you are. Your morals, personal interests and beliefs. When spending your time with a bad boy the main thing that a girl gets dragged into doing is always wanting to obey and impress them so they stay longer. The women will change anything for the boy that completely hypnotized her to point to not even notice the fact that she’s kneeling at his knees in obedience.

Likewise, Jack has changed and hypnotized the group of boys. Before Jack’s tribe they still had civil and grounded beliefs, thoughts and actions. However, when Jack’s inner beast finally had the time to shine and take charge, everyone else, so hypnotized by his leadership, changed as well. The boys looked at Jack as an all knowing Chief and truly thought that what he was doing was right and they got pulled in the wave of evilness and changed completely. Moreover, they obeyed Jack as if they were a pack of mindless dogs who waited to be pet.

—————–

In conclusion, we have gone over the three most common characteristics of the ever so known, modern day “Bad Boy”. We have also connected Jack to these characteristics to discover that Jack is in fact the baddest of the bad boys.

Watch out ladies, stay clear from Jack or else you’ll fall in his deep dark trap or never ending non-existent love!

Milgram’s Experiment Proves Golding’s theory

Leave a reply

Milgram’s experiment proves Golding’s theory. In Golding’s theory he states that all human’s are evil, it is only consequences and rules that keep them from behaving badly. In the experiment the volunteers (teachers) were told to send shocks to the actor (learner) when they would answer the question wrong. However, when the shock would start to get very intense the teachers would try and stop, though the “scientist” in the white coat (who was the leader) was ordering them to keep going.

This relates to Golding’s theory because the people that could possibly condemn the volunteers during that setting are the scientists. However, they are telling them to keep going so they do as they are told. In this case the volunteers were following the ‘rules’. To not continue to send the shocks would be an act of disobeying, so they continue as they do not want to be punished. Also, this proves how Golding states that all human’s, deep down, are savages. The fact that even though their brain knows that it is wrong, something inside them is amused by the act of bringing pain to someone else.

An example in Chapter 10 of ‘Lord of the Flies’ that proves Milgram’s experiment is that Jack who is an authoritative figure told the tribe to tie up Wilfred so he could beat him. When they asked why he was doing this, he gave no reason. In this case nobody tried to object or stop it because those were the ‘rules’ and he was the leader.

In conclusion, Milgram’s experiment proves Golding’s theory and Chapter 10 of ‘Lord of the Flies’ proves Milgram’s experiment. All in all, all three cases contained one authoritative figure, multiple people not wanting to object and a peep of everyone’s hidden savage. In the end, we saw how authority (people or rules) can over rule anybody and how savagery is camouflaged within us all.
