Piggy character analysis
Lord of the Flies
Piggy represents
The rational thinking
world
Piggy could’ve been a leader
… or not
• Piggy is intelligent
• He cares about the boys
wellbeing
• He makes decisions
• He is morally right
• He is focused on getting
rescued, like Ralph, instead
of gathering food and
hunting.
• He knows how to blow the
conch (a symbol of power
and leadership) and has to
explain to Ralph how to do
it
Piggy is weak
So maybe he couldn’t have been a leader… hmm
• Piggy’s weaknesses are what
doesn’t make him skilled
enough to be chief.
• He relies on Ralph
• Is physically weak
• Is fat and unfit
• Nobody listens to him
because he is of lower class
than everybody else
• He has asthma, which is what
stops him from blowing the
conch himself.
• Wears glasses and is
vulnerable without them.
• Piggys intelligence only helps
the group via Ralph, as Piggy
is Ralphs advisor.
Piggy’s death
Why, Piggy, why?
• Constantly gave the boys
warnings, but they didn’t
listen, making him a
Cassandra figure.
• By frequently quoting his
aunt, he provides the only
female voice on the island,
something that the boys
aren’t interested in.
• Insists on going to get his
glasses back from Jack at
Castle Rock, so is brave
too late
Standing up for what he
believes in gets him killed:
“Which is
better? – to
have rules and
agree or to
hunt and kill?”
• All of these things make
piggy the voice of reason,
and once he dies, that
reason is gone – leading
Jack and his tribe to hunt
down Ralph.
• He dies along with the
conch, which “splinter{ed}
into a thousand tiny
pieces and ceased to
exist,” which is the end of
order.
How was Piggy’s death
foreshadowed
• The death of the pig at
the beginning
foreshadows Piggy’s
death, due to his name.
• The increasingly violent
way in which the tribe
were killing the pigs
• His glasses being broken
rendered him “disabled”
and it is the survival of the
fittest
• Rodger, who pushes the
boulder on top of Piggy,
throwing stones at the
littuns.
