Ralph and Jack are two main characters in William Golding's Lord of the Flies. Throughout the novel, both Ralph and Jack display various strengths and weaknesses.
Ralph has many strengths, one is that he is a true leader. At the start of the novel, Ralph presents himself as a leader when he tries to establish order on the island. He also displays leadership qualities in his attempts to instill civilized values within the boys. By the same token, one of his strengths is his dedication. He makes it clear through his actions that he is dedicated to the hope of eventual rescue. One of Ralph's weaknesses is that he does not display social charisma in his attempts to gain the respect of the boys.
Jack also displays strengths throughout the novel; however, he has different strengths than Ralph. Opposite of Ralph, Jack has social charisma and easily gains power from the other boys, despite the fact that he is not originally elected chief. In terms of his weaknesses, Jack can be careless and reckless. He also has no moral compass and often struggles to identify right from wrong.
