Throughout the novel, Golding suggests that absolute power is corrupting and dangerous by depicting Jack's tyrannical leadership over his group of savages. After Jack usurps power from Ralph, he immediately begins to use fear as a means of controlling his tribe. He perpetuates the belief in the "beast" by sacrificing the severed pig's head and mentions that the "beast" has the ability to shape shift. The more Jack's power increases, the more ruthless he becomes. Jack begins to punish boys who disagree with him or do not follow his orders, and encourages violence.
