Comparing "Lost" and "Lord of the Flies"

 

Sawyer from Lost
Jack from Lord of the Flies, a violent, power hungry pre-teen, and Sawyer from Lost, a manipulative con man, are similar because they both represent chaos and disorder in their civilizations.




Jack from Lord of the Flies
Right as Jack [Lost] begins leading the civilization and preparing them for war against “the others”, another civilization on the island, Sawyer tricks Jack and cons him out of all of their guns. Sawyer’s manipulation causes the civilization to panic, thus creating chaos. Sawyer is a con man and can never change his ways. Another woman on the island, Kate, tells him that he wants people to hate him. Kate’s assumptions are correct, and Sawyer says that he’s a bad guy and will never be capable of doing anything good. Jack Merridew [Lord of the Flies] causes chaos when he breaks away from Ralph’s, the leader of the group, civilization and forms a second tribe. Matters only get worse when Jack’s tribe begin acting even more savage than before and start hunting Ralph.
The chaos and disorder that Jack [Lord of the Flies] and Sawyer create cause civilizations to fail.
