4. All the characters in Lord of the Flies have the potential to commit Evil. Evil serves as a temptation for all the characters through out the story, but the differences between them make them react to this temptation in different ways.
Roger, who could be considered the most stereotypical and shallow character, appears one sided because he gives in to this temptation easily. The only thing that had previously stopped him from committing evil acts was the system in place that prevented it. When free from this system, Roger sees himself as free from the restrictions that told him to be a good person.
Jack begins the book as someone who tries to be a good person, but he is still a child, and wants to play in this new found paradise without thought of the consequences. He does not see that he is becoming evil. Jack develops and becomes closer to the evil within him throughout the book. Every time he kills something, he is driven further towards evil, and fully embraces it after Simons death.

Ralph tries to be a good person throughout the whole book. He tries to establish order within his tribe for the sake of everybody, and is constantly thinking of the greater good. But even

Piggy would be classified as a good character as he is easily the closest thing the children on that island have to society and an adult. He thinks about what the reoccurances

3. Evil is a disposition focused on deliberate cruelty. Evil can be considered one of the worst things imaginable, but what makes it terrifying is that Evil both serves as an opposite force to humanity, but is also innately human.

Piggy
Piggy is a character easily defined as 'good'. Even when the tribes turn against him, he still works with them for the good of the whole. When Ralph temporarily loses sight of the goal they are working towards (escape) Piggy is always there to remind him, help him through, comfort him and assist in getting things done. These traits match directly with those of a 'good' person, in that he is selfless, kind, forgiving, and willing to work for the good of the tribe.

# data[].attributes.body
Jack, to me, is bad. He is ignorant to the true greater needs of everyone. He does not consider his actions thoroughly enough to realize that what he is doing isn't beneficial to everyone, unlike Roger, who knows what he is doing is immoral and unhelpful, but continues to do it for his own personal pleasure and interest

# data[].attributes.body
2. A bad person focuses only on their on persona gain, with little if any concern for those around them. The worst people are extreme in this, to the extent that they inflict pain on others or consider others lesser than themselves.
Bad people are those who no longer strive to be good for the sake of those around them.

Pretty much all of the characters are neutral, but Roger's a bad dude. He's pretty squarely evil, since he actively hurts others for his own pleasure. He clearly knows that what he's doing is wrong, but he finds it fun, so he continues.

4. In the text, how would you categorise the characters?

Piggy -
To me, Piggy is a good character, though when placed in the situation that the boys are placed in, Piggy lacks the physical ability to 'help' the others. It is evident in his speech that he attempts to do so, but fails inevitably and not by choice. The other characters do not appreciate Piggy's true spirit and only see him for his physical attributes which he does not have control over, this leads to his death.

Ralph -
To me, Ralph is also a good character, he accepts responsibility and attempts to lead the group. Some may point out the fact that he initially teases Piggy for his name and tells the others that he is called Piggy despite Piggy's request to refrain from this action. This later leads to the making fun of Piggy, therefore Ralph intentionally hurt Piggy however due to Ralph's age this could be deemed as simply playfulness.

# data[].attributes.body
4. Ralph
Ralph I would say as good
Even though he starts of bad and acting like a jerk like when he teased piggy about his nick name, as the story progresses he would try to be responsible and act mature like an adult. He didn't really do this very well, and when he was elected the leader, often times other people like Jack would take the lead. Ralph means well, but sometimes doesn't always do well. But I find that the good category is most fitting for him because he wants to good, and help others etc.

# data[].attributes.body
A bad person is one who gains pleasure from negative, harmful and hurtful things on a daily basis. They are selfish as well as prejudiced and do not care about the world around them, unless it benefits them in some manner.

3. What makes something 'evil'?
Evilness is something that is learnt, often those that are evil are those that are in the most amount of pain. Someone that is evil usually acts in revenge this is contrasted by someone who is 'bad'. Those that are evil will usually go to any length to exact this revenge as they have learnt to no longer experience emotions of sympathy or empathy.

# data[].attributes.body
A 'bad' person quite simply lacks the qualities that make one 'good' eg. kindness, selfless nature, good intent, willingness to do something for the good of the group. That said, they do not have an innate desire to do 'evil', rather, they work for themselves with no attempt to accommodate for the needs of others.

# data[].attributes.body
Evil is not the same as bad, bad is not helping others, while evil is intentionally hurting others.

# data[].attributes.body
Roger is one of, if not the only character that can be mostly placed into one category, evil. His actions throughout the novel are sadistic and exert signs of what some would call psychopathy or (equivalent word meaning sociopath). No normal twelve year old, on a deserted island or not, should have urges to 🤬 others. Roger however, even acts upon his urges when killing Piggy and most likely when assisting in killing Simon.

# data[].attributes.body
For something to be evil it is out of bad blood. The person does not think of anyone when doing something that would be deemed evil. They dont care what happens, who they hurt (mentally or physically). Someone can also be evil to themselves, they can hurt themselves in ways without actually realising it.

Character categorizing:
Piggy is a good person, due to his positive intentions, willingness to contribute to a greater good and healthy relationship with Ralph, however he is often unable to showcase this due to his physical weakness, lack of leadership qualities and useless ideas, which eventually lead to his death.

Evil: An evil person will be willing to do unnecessary harm to others with little or no personal gain.
An evil person will take advantage of all situations to do whatever they want to do, without concern for the greater good
Most importantly, an evil person knows how to be moral, and will understand morality, but will continue to commit immoral actions anyway

# data[].attributes.body
Ralph:

Out of all of the characters in this book, Ralph is the closest to good that there is. It's clear that he is flawed (also a child!) but it's also apparent that some of his decisions are driven by others. For example there is a situation where he suggests that someone needs to look after the smaller children. It's clear that he has empathy towards others as shown in the final page. A good person isn't someone who makes all good decisions, but someone who can regret their bad decisions. It's shown in the book that he still remembers the small child who died at the beginning of the book, but believes that the setting is not the correct environment to mourn.

# data[].attributes.body
Bad can not exist without good, because bad is nothing but a lack of good, a lack of desire to help others. Following this rule, a "bad" person can be defined as both a person who intentionally hurts other, or a person who makes no attempt to help others. These are both equally bad, but only one is "evil".

# data[].attributes.body
Jack is a bad person because he exhibits many bad
- They are hurtful to others (He is hurtful to piggy when he tells him to shut up even though he has the conch)
- They always get into trouble       (he is the one that rebels against ralph)
- They have terrible manners (does not listen to others such as Ralph when he is told to keep the fire)
- Are impulsive (he starts a fight with ralph without thinking)
- Do not benefit society or their community (He does not help his society by keeping the fire and instead makes it worse)

# data[].attributes.body
3. Evil
An evil person is someone that has no care for anyone ese and who would go out of their way to mentally or physically harm others. An example of this would be a terrorist. Terrorists deliberately want to inflict fear into others. More examples are murderers and/or torturers that finds pleasure in other people's pain. Psychopaths can also be considered as evil as they have no regard for other people's feelings and they only care for themself.

# data[].attributes.body
On the surface, Ralph seems like the protagonist of the book and the only good person on the whole island, but beneath the surface, Ralph actually doesn't seem that good. He is certainly not evil and I don't know if I would say he is bad but I don't think he is really that good. He seems good because he is trying to help everyone get rescued but really, he only cares about himself getting rescued. He uses his power as leader to have the other kids help him so HE can get rescued. His actions might be good, but his intentions are not quite there.

# data[].attributes.body
Roger:
Roger is undoubtedly the evil character in this story, and in my opinion the only true evil character. He does not do things for the greater good, or to benefit others. He simply enjoys the suffering others, whether it be Piggy, Ralph or the Lil Uns'. This where I draw the line between Roger and Jack. I think Jack is not evil, just bad. Ultimately, he is doing what he thinks is best for survival on the island. While he does do bad things along the way, includes attempts on people lives, in the end he's doing it for what he thinks will help them survive. Roger, however, couldn't care less about the outcome. He entered situations in the story hoping to cause pain to others and nothing more.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, Ralph is one of the only characters in the book whose motives were to benefit those around him, symbolized by his determination to keep the fire alive. In the book, he is also shown to make many selfless actions which would hinder himself, for the benefit of others.
For example, he makes the executive decision of building the shelters, even when there were no assistance from others on the island. This is done for the benefit of the whole island, and actions like this makes Ralph 'good' in my opinion.

EVIL
Evil can be described as fundamentally having no morals or sympathy towards others, deliberately causing harm and going to extreme measures to make people's lives miserable.

# data[].attributes.body
Evil is described as an innate quality. Something profoundly bad could qualify as evil. An evil person would take action with the sole purpose of inflicting harm or fear on another person. They would feel no remorse or sorrow for any actions they have committed no matter the outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, Ralph is a good person. He wants to keep the fire going because it will help everyone get rescued. He is also the one who suggest to build huts which again helps everyone. However, Ralph does go to Jack for meat and does participate in the 🤬 of Simon, but the positives outweigh the negatives.

# data[].attributes.body
What defines a 'bad' person?
A bad person is one that is opposite to a 'good' person. They often possess narcissistic traits and put themselves on a pedestal.  Rather than differentiating right from wrong, 'bad' people act in their own interests rather than the best interests of the majority. They often rebel from what is expected of them and deliberately disregard the opinions of others in belief that their own reign supreme. Bad people engage in small acts which result in the suffering of others. This is what differentiates them from those that are evil.

# data[].attributes.body
Evil
- Evil is similar to bad yet more extreme
- Evil people go out of their way to do bad things
- They are not accidentally being bad or mean, they are purposely targeting a certain person or thing.

To my mind, Jack is purely evil. He is sadistic, has no moral compass, takes pleasure in 🤬, and has no real redeeming qualities.

Roger: I'd classify Roger as an evil character. Roger is an interesting character, due to his unknown behaviour/personality during the first half of the book. However, as the book progresses his personality is revealed more and more. Roger was the first one to 🤬 a person, being Piggy, without any confusion. Another show of Roger's twisted personality, was during the start of the book when he was throwing rocks at the littlluns

# data[].attributes.body
EVIL

- They do things for the reason of hurting other people (hurts others on purpose)

- Justifies to themselves that they are doing the right thing

*different to a bad person*

- bad people don't always know they're bad, and they hurt people through bad decision making rather than making a conscious effort to hurt others

Bad: A bad person is someone who is reckless and ignorant of the consequences to their actions/decisions
A bad person will ignore the greater good when making a choice, and may place their value or worth above others.
A bad person often considers their image over the consequences of their action.
A bad person might make decisions that attempt to help others, without consideration the long term positives and negatives of their outcome

# data[].attributes.body
Roger could be considered as the only truly evil character in the Lord of the Flies. Even before the reversion to primitive ways his morals to injure and maim the weak were evident. An example of this is his attitude towards the littluns when he throws stones at them, early in the text. His education and possibly better judgement hinders him from throwing the rock directly at the littlun. At the end of the book his satisfaction in killing Piggy and hinting Ralph provided an inside into his mental state. By nature he was cruel, but the island environment and his ancestor's savage history, caused him to believe his detrimental actions were normal. Out of all the boys he was the one set upon killing Ralph and sharpening a spear at both ends. His thoughts had become so perverted with evil qualities that he may have continued to struggle with his inner turmoil in society. Roger is innately evil, because he schemes silently and is so consumed with his idea of right and wrong

Evil
An evil person is very different to a bad person. Someone bad may not actually be aware they are a bad person, however being evil is something different. To be evil, must go into situations with the intention to cause pain. Whatever you do your ultimate desire will be your own success and you do not care who you harm to get there. Some evil people may even gain satisfaction or enjoy others pain.

1. What defines a 'good' person?
A good person is not someone that is incredibly selfless, they are not defined in this way. A good person has a set of morals and ethics by which they live, they are able to differentiate good actions from those that are bad and act on this. Characteristics of a good person include the ability to care for another as much as they care for themselves, however in my opinion you do not have to engage in great acts of kindness to be classified as a good person. One that simply goes about their own way and does not inflict pain intentionally on another can be classified as a good person. Being a good person is not something that comes with birth, rather something that is developed over time and is taught to an individual, however in the same way one can be a 'bad person'.
