Piggy
''We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when they hear us—.'
Piggy in Lord of the Flies represents the human Superego. The Being the intelligence found in society as a whole.
The inevitable death of Piggy because of Jack
''How can you expect to be rescued if you don’t put first things first and act proper''
The song reminds us of the inevitable conflict between Jack and Piggy all throughout the story and how it will eventually have to lead to a final confrontation.
''We did everything just the way grownups would have. Why didn't it work? Things would be much better here if it wasn't for him. I wish he was dead. ''
''We might have to live here for a long time! Maybe the rest of our lives! If we *are* stuck here until we get old, then we can't go on acting like kids! We've got to be sensible and make things work! ''
''What good is that gonna do? They can't cook pigs without a fire. They'll get trichinosis.''
