Golding immediately shows how the voting procedures of a democratic society can help prevent evil from taking over. When Jack and his altar boys and Ralph and his band first meet, the differences between the two groups become apparent. Jack, at the first meeting, yells at the boys to “Stand still!” ” (Golding 20) and even when “one of the boys has collapsed on his face in the sand,” he has the other altar boys move “the fallen boy to the platform.” and let him lie” (Golding 20). With this brief glimpse of Jack's leadership, it is evident that Jack does not care about the common men in his choir, thus reinforcing the illusion of his dictatorial skills. The theme of leaving masses of ordinary citizens uncared for, while elites are given exclusive powers, is a major notion of totalitarian government. When these boys see how badly Jack's altar boys are being treated, the vote for leader is affected. When Ralph asks, “Who wants Jack to be leader?” » the altar boys “With mournful obedience [they] raised their hands” (Golding 23). Then, when Ralph asked, “Who wants me?” Every hand outside the choir, except Piggy's, immediately went up. Then Piggy raised his hand too” (Golding 23). It is evident here how the public and Golding perceive the two contradictory types of government. This little insight shows that even when a dictator has all the power over his citizens, he cannot beat a democratically elected leader in an election. The bottom line of this situation shows that citizens prefer a democratic leader whom they elect rather than someone who tries to usurp the throne. Although this is only the first time the two sides have met, the two sides only grow further apart every time they meet. Additionally, Golding uses frequent meetings to further his...... middle of paper ...... until "the incitement became rhythmic" (Golding 182). Then, “Roger advanced towards them like one wielding nameless authority” (Golding 182). Samneric, in this situation, constitutes an illusion for the political opposition present in most totalitarian societies. The Samneric are treated as political prisoners and encouraged to remain silent about their opinions and accept the new leader's iron-fisted and inflexible way of governing. Golding, in this situation, is trying to show the reader how a totalitarian government does not allow any opposition to the idea of ​​official government. If a person disagrees with the government, it is best to keep their opinion to themselves or face severe backlash from the government. Overall, Jack's newly expanded tribe only came into existence because Jack used fear and brutality as a means to keep his tribe in line..
