Carl Jung born in 1875, was a Swiss psychologist. He had many theories, one of them being that an individual makes a conscious decision to show the potential evil that we all have within us. In Lord of the Flies this manifests itself in several ways. When the boys first arrive on the island, they all agree to live in a civilized manner, working together and answering to a leader. By encouraging others to believe that they will never be saved, Jack was making a conscious decision to expose his potential evil. The film is an interpretation of the book and, although not depicted in the film, a certain scene strongly shows Jung's theory. The book says that Simon finds the pig's head that Jack left as an offering to the "monster" and considers it to be able to speak. The leader tells him that the boys "created the monster" and that the real beast lives within them all. Here, the pig's head directly refers to Simon and the boy's inner evil. Over time, the boys' inner evil manifests, they focus on themselves and their survival. another example is the death of Piggy. The boys who push the rock towards Piggy are well aware of the implications this action will have on him, but they no longer see anything wrong with killing someone or something because it has started to become something socially accepted in their group . . Jack and his group begin to no longer see things logically because they are no longer part of a society that conducts itself on the basis of what is ethically right, and no longer feel the need to repress their inner savage , and because of this things like the deaths of Simon and Piggy happen. Sigmund Freud had a theory in which he proposed that the psyche was divided into three parts, the Ego, the Superego and the...... middle of paper ...... savagery began to manifest itself more. particularly shown in Jack, the instinct for survival overrides his instinct to respect the social contract he has entered into. He disobeys the first agreement by not trying to live in peace and unity, and also breaks the second contract, by distancing himself from Ralph and no longer responding to his authority. In conclusion, each of the theories mentioned applies to the characters of the lord. flies one way or another. Jack shows his potential evil and stops suppressing his inner wildness, he responds to his identity and his superego begins to have less of an effect on him, and he breaks both agreements of the social contract. Piggy and Ralph are able to suppress their inner wildness and act like certain parts of the psyche, by interacting together they are able to make ethically correct choices and stay within the social contract they entered into..
