   The murder of Piggy marks the boys complete abandonment of themselves to savagery. Jack has lost himself to his desire for authoritarian rule. Rather than depend on the ethical nature residing in each individual, the boys have blindly allowed Jack to lead them down his path. Their identities are also obscured behind their painted faces.

   Roger feels absolute satisfaction from the entire situation. There is no sense of regret or evildoing in Roger. His cruel tendencies prevail with the death of Piggy and he has come into his own.
