Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, has four very important dynamic characters. A dynamic character is one who evolves and grows over the course of the story. Ralph, Jack, Piggy and Simon are four dynamic characters from Lord of the Flies who adapt to their new lifestyle in different ways. Jack is a very important dynamic character in Lord of the Flies because he undergoes the most changes throughout the novel. On the island, Jack experiences many life experiences that change him forever. Jack never thought he would live his life the way he does on the island. Jack's authoritarian figure, his wild/instinctive behavior and his violence are three qualities that make Jack a dynamic character. Jack's authoritarian figure at the beginning of Lord of the Flies is a quality that shows what a dynamic character he is.

Jack tells the little ones who are afraid that they will forget the beast. ...... middle of paper ...... in hand, Jack tries to murder Ralph because Jack has become so wild.
