Chapter 10 revolves around three main symbols, the Conch, the Fire and the Beast. the Conch in chapter 10 serves the same purpose as in the rest of the book being a symbol of Law and Order, however in this chapter we see it neglected by both tribes. The fire now serves as a symbol of power, with Jack and the savages desperately wanting it enough to beat and steal it from Ralph and the others. To Ralph's tribe the fire still holds onto its meaning of rescue.
The Beast represents the savage actions of Jacks tribe and the boys descent into a primeval state.

Focus Themes of the Chapter - the Breakdown of Discipline:

# data[].attributes.body
This theme is introduced in the beginning of the chapter, where Piggy asked Ralph to meet at the assembly area, here "Ralph sat (sits) down in the grass facing the chiefs seat", after the events of last night he has lost his courage and leadership, these themes are backed up when Piggy asks him to "call an assembly" Ralph's response is a mocking laugh.
Instead of the ordered discipline of before, Jack's tribe has descended into a "savage" dictatorship. This is confirmed when, after being attacked by the savages, Piggy reminisces "I thought they wanted the conch" the attackers deciding to neglect what was once the symbol of law and order.

The chapter opens on the morning following Jack's feast, during which Simon was killed. Piggy and Ralph are discussing the event, Piggy in denial and Ralph anxious yet unwavering about what happened. Both are ashamed of the part they had, and they agree to keep their involvement secret from Samneric and the littluns, who are the only children not deserting to Jack's tribe.
Meanwhile, Jack's tribe also discuss the events of the previous night, and formulate a plan to raid the original camp for Piggy's glasses. The chapter concludes with this raid, which is a success as Jack and his savages leave with the glasses in hand.

The boys response to their actions and the murder of Simon in the previous night's dance reveals details about their character. The discussion between Ralph and Piggy at the beginning of chapter 10 shows that Ralph names the deed as murder; "that was murder," to which Piggy states "We was scared ... anything might have happened ... that's what it was. An accident". Ralph openly admits to participating, guilty of his actions: " "I wasn't scared," said Ralph slowly, "I was -- I don't know what I was", suggesting that Ralph may be losing his goodness to savagery. Due to his intellect Piggy finds it difficult to admit to murder, instead stating "an accident. That's what is was. An accident," the use of repetition revealing how desperate he is to be seen as innocent.
Jack's response to the murder further reveals his savagery and evil. His response can suggest that perhaps he is being driven mad by his savagery. He informs his tribe that Simon was actually 'the beast', disguising itself as a boy crawling from the forest: "He came -- disguised ... You remember how he crawled --". Either he does not want to admit to killing Simon, or he was too worked-up in his dance to notice or care.

After the previous night, and the success and fame Jack had gained Ralph and Piggy wake to find almost all the boys had left to "Castle rock", except for some littluns and Samneric. Throughout the chapter Golding refers to the members of Jacks tribe as "Savages" directly linking the boys with their primeval behaviour. These themes are furthered as Jack decides to raid Ralph's camp during the night, stealing Piggy's glasses after beating the boys.

The theme of innocence is the first to appear in the chapter, as the boys left in Ralph's camp contemplate the disturbing events of the night before and Simons death. Here we see the different reactions of the boys, with Ralph claiming it was "murder" and Piggy adamant "it was an accident" with the scene ending with all four boys denying were there, "Memory of the dance that none of them attended, shook all four boys convulsively."

Chapter 10 reveals a change in society, peace and power through the Conch, Piggy's glasses and the raid of Ralph's tribe by Maurice, Roger and Jack. The boys have split into two tribes; one with Ralph in as Chief and the other Jack, revealing a breakup in the once thriving society that was established after the conch was blown the first time. Jack's tribe is the more successful of the two, stating that Jack is the new unofficial Chief of the island. Chapter 10 contrasts the leadership styles of Jack and Ralph; Ralph is fair, peaceful and sensible while Jack is violent and savage, controlling his tribe through fear and the promise to kill. The raid for Piggy's glasses is the first major sign of war, foreshadowing the further conflict between the two tribes of boys. The Conch and Piggy's glasses play a vital role in the chapter, as instead of stealing the original symbol of power, the conch, Jack instead takes Piggy's glasses; the true symbol of power. The object that once unified the boys is made worthless.

"The chief was sitting there, his face blocked out in white and red. The tribe lay in a semicircle before him"
- Use of "blocked' implies that the paint is covering up their conscience and individuality. The use of "chief" and "tribe" as opposed to their names furthers this effect.

Chapter 10 contains a diverse range of themes, in particular focusing on savagery, the loss of innocence, pack mentality and the breakdown/change in order and discipline.
