Lord of the Flies Chapters 1-4


     In these Chapters the littluns scream in the night from terror of the snake-thing.  And Jack admits that at times when he is hunting he senses something behind him.  The dark terrors of the jungle represent the dark parts of the human mind.  It isn’t until chapter 6 that their fear of a beast actually comes true.
