If you look at the comparison between Jack and Ralph, I
think it is easy to suggest that Jack represents the leader who is feared and you can
examine the results of his style in a critical way. Is it better that the boys feared
him and were willing to go over to his side because of their desire for meat and hunting
but also because he was adept at utilizing the fear of the beast, etc., to bring them to
his side?
The question is more complicated because you are
dealing with a group of children. This may make it even more useful to be feared given
that children are arguably easier to frighten than adults and so can be more easily
manipulated by the fear of the beast or any number of other
things.
