In "The Lord of the Flies" we have main characters Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon, and Roger. They all start in good because society fed their good side making it strong but there is always the under current of dark that over lays every action. For example some people will help people because that person will owe them a favor or because it'll help them too. Jack's inner evil was pushed forward by being minimized when he wasn't chosen as leader proving how close to the surface his darkness was. Roger is darker than Jack in my opinion because he's seems more willing to hurt, he wants to embrace his evil but couldn't till the chains of society released him to his full potential. Piggy was sheltered and unprepared to face the world which even though people tried to protect him he was eventually killed. Finally we have Simon he was good natured and quiet but seemed to have the ability to understand things at least in his subconscious. All evil is differnet but all people have it in common even glorified Ralph showed he had an evil side when he was with Jack's hunters. Piggy had a dark side as well he wanted to stay behind the scences and have what he wanted done but without his help. Roger once he felt the veil lifted was almost pure evil because that's what he wanted to be. All this shows is that evil is in many forms and is the most dangerous form we posess and good in a persons heart can be snuffed out so easily by killing them or hiding behide a mask. Darkness in a person is the ultimate threat to life and we all contained the secret to each other's destruction.
