The key scenes from the novel “Lord of the Flies” which enhance the change of the human nature theme are the first time all of the boys meet and elect a leader, the expedition of hunting the wild boar and the very last scene when all of the remaining boys join together to hunt Ralph. The change in the boy’s nature, from innocent to evil, is best expressed in the way these three scenes depict the attitudes of the boys. Jack and Roger are the two main boys who evolve from excited and co-operative to evil and cunning boys, and lose all sense of their previous society and how it was run. They kill Simon and Piggy and begin to hunt down Ralph. The only person who sticks to his previous nature most of the time is Ralph, and he too is caught up in the evil nature that comes out in the boys.

Instead of Jack not having the courage to kill a pig he now enjoys the feeling of hunting and killing an animal. However the evilness has not yet fully come out in the boys, they are still only hunting the pig because they need to eat.

The last scene of the book largely enhances the theme of evil coming out in humans. The boys have lost all of their innocence when they go from hunting a pig to enjoying hunting their previous leader, without much reason. The evil in them has totally shown itself, they have killed two people and hope to end a third persons life. All of their knowledge of their old life has gone, th
