man's inherent evil quotes

quote 1 (chapter 4) (jack reflecting on how it felt to hunt a pig for the first time)

“His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink.”

quote 2 (chapter 5) (Simon’s prediction/realisation that the true beast may actually be present inside all of the boys)

“Maybe there is a beast… Maybe it’s only us.”

quote 3 (chapter 8) (The Lord of the Flies speaks to simon)

"Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill!... You knew didn’t you? I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s no go? Why things are what they are?”

quote 4

“Kill the pig! Slit its throat! Spill its blood!”
