Jack is a character who repeatedly disregards what Ralph assigns him to do, because of this he hurts the island chances of survival. In order to attract ships and planes to the island there must be a ongoing fire, Jacks selfish acts cause a missed opportunity for rescue. The smoke was something that they depended on for being rescued and Jack with “[his] blood and hunting, [they] might have gone home” (Golding 59). Because Jack might not be ready to go home he doesn't care about his job and the chance of being rescued, therefore he does whatever he desires putting the whole island at a greater risk. Simon is a very intelligent character who was mistakenly killed by the islanders because of being riled up and out of control because of Jack.
