Dictators
In the novel, Lord of the Flies, Jack is on the island with other children and he tries to be chief. He also kills piggy. Jack has red hair and he is wanting to become chief. Jack and Hitler are both dictators because they both want to brain wash people, they use resources to control them and they create common enemies.
Jack and Hitler manipulate their followers. “enotes.com” states, “All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself… (Enotes) “Those who do not want to fight do not deserve to live.” Propaganda manipulates the people. Hitler is convincing them to stay on his side” Golding writes/”The conch does not count on top of the mountain” (page42) Jack is telling them what to do by disrespecting the conch shell. They only hear Jack. Jack and Hitler both make sure only their voices are heard.
Jack and Hitler limited free speech. “Wiesenthal.com” states “Hitler and his minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, staged nationwide book burnings on the night of May 10, 1933” (2) Golding writes, the conch shell. Jack only wants to be in charge. Jack and Hitler can only have their voices heard. (Golding page 142)
Jack and Hitler are both violent. AZ Quotes states, “I desire a violent, domineering fearless, and ferocious upcoming generation. “ (1) This quote explains how Hitler was a violent man. Golding writes “you do not know Roger he’s a terror and the chief they’re both – “terrors – only Roger-“(3). This quote explains about how Sam n Eric are talking about Roger being chief. Jack and Hitler use violence to get what they want.
Jack and Hitler are both the same because they both want to brainwash people, used resources to control others and they create common enemies. They also burned books. Jack did not respect the conch. They murdered people to get the respect they deserve.
