Lord of the Flies Chapter 3 Discussion Based on Ms. Cerulli’s lessons

Views of the Island Chapter 3 Chapter 3 begins with Jack alone on the island and ends with Simon alone. Chapter 3 begins with Jack alone on the island and ends with Simon alone. Why? [What was the author’s purpose in this juxtaposition?] Why? [What was the author’s purpose in this juxtaposition?]

By the beginning of chapter 3, Jack has become an animal-like hunter. These pages show how Jack transformed from a proper English choir boy who hesitated at the thought of killing a pig into a human being who is desperately trying to satisfy his hunger for meat. Now, Golding describes Jack as “almost dog-like.” The once proper boy walks “uncomfortably on all fours” like a lone animal stalking its prey. Jack is converting into more primitive means while he is spending time on the island. Jack’s transformation is also described in how he undergoes physical changes while on the island. His hair becomes longer, while the sun changes the color of it. The sun has also made his skin like a large freckle, while it is peeling with sunburn. Aside from the remains of his shorts, Jack is naked, showing how he has changed. All of these changes represent Jack’s move away from civilized life and towards savagery. Even the way Jack’s body behaves reflects this change...

Thomas Hobbes— ( ) English philosopher. * Hobbes declared that primitive human life was "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." * Hobbes felt that the "natural" state of man was akin to being beast-like. It is civilization that steps in and saves humanity from our primal depravity. Human nature is nasty and human culture rescues. In Hobbes' view, being "civilized" is good and being a "savage" is bad.

John Locke ( ) Enlightenment Philosopher "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains." Locke declared that humans in early times were "noble savages." That is, humans are naturally and innately good and it is “civilization" that turns man into a "beast." Locke argued that modern man should seek to restore the conditions of our lost Eden and live a more "natural" rather than "technological" life. “Tabula Rasa” idea.

Turn to the start of chapter 4, “Painted Faces and Long Hair.” Let’s read the first few pages. Read from 58 to 62.

Homework: Write: Which theory, Hobbes’ or Locke’s, would Golding support? Use evidence from today’s passage to explain why.
