Lord of the Flies by William Golding is the embodiment of Starhawk’s words: “Where there’s fear, there is power.” One seeds this in the plot of Golding’s Lord of the Flies when Jack uses the power of fear to overturn Ralph, eventually succeeding. Fear shows power through Jacks and his use of body language, actions and threats.
For example, Jack invokes fear by using domineer body languag. After Ralph blows the conch, a group walks up to Ralph and his group, and “The boy[Jack] who controlled them was dressed in the same way, though his cap badge was golden… The boy himself[Jack] came forward, vaulted on to the platform with his cloak flying, and peered into what to him was almost complete darkness (Golding 24).” This is a clear illustration of the condescending manner in which Jack has. This demonstrates a domineer attitude towards other people, which would invoke fear and submissive actions. Similarly, whilst walking with Ralph, Jack leaned on a rock and it “moved with a grating sound (36).” From this, readers can generalize Jack’s larger size, showing he is stronger than the other boys on the island, which would invoke caution in anyone. In addition, we also see Jacck’s strong build when he "stood there, streaming with sweat, streaked with brown earth, stained by the vicissitudes of a day’s hunting (68)."This also shows us Jacks athletic build, which can come off in a very intimidating manner. From this, readers can gather that Jack’s body language invokes fear, causing him to take advantage of this in order to take advantage of the other boys.
On another hand, Jack invokes this same ear through actions terrorizing his peers on this island. Readers clearly see
