Read the passage from Lord of the Flies by William Golding.

Jack drew up his legs, clasped his knees, and frowned in an effort to attain clarity.

"All the same—in the forest. I mean when you’re hunting, not when you’re getting fruit, of course, but when you’re on your own—”

He paused for a moment, not sure if Ralph would take him seriously.

"Go on.”

"If you’re hunting sometimes you catch yourself feeling as if—” He flushed suddenly. "There’s nothing in it of course. Just a feeling. But you can feel as if you’re not hunting, but—being hunted, as if something’s behind you all the time in the jungle.” . . .

"The best thing we can do is get ourselves rescued.”

Jack had to think for a moment before he could remember what rescue was.

"Rescue? Yes, of course! All the same, I’d like to catch a pig first—” He snatched up his spear and dashed it into the ground. The opaque, mad look came into his eyes again. Ralph looked at him critically through his tangle of fair hair.

Answer:

Golding uses description to emphasize how the island has influenced Jack.

The universal themes "the relationship between violence and human nature” and "the relationship between civilization and nature” are best developed in this passage through, Golding uses description to emphasize how the island has influenced Jack.

What is the theme?

The concept of a piece of work is referred to as the theme.

What is the relationship?

The interconnection of two or more people is defined as a relationship.

Because the theme of "the relationship between civilization and nature" was developed as such, William Golding has done a fantastic job of showing how easily human nature can change from being prey to savagery via the character of Jack and his hunters. All the others are merely followers besides Jack. They are tempted by Jack's tactics to engage in hunting, which is brutal by nature. With time, they devolve into savages and begin to hunt people. Jack's hunters and Ralph's followers are two groups of youths that compete with one another. Jack and his crew stand for savagery and barbarism, whereas Ralph is the embodiment of civilization, order, and control. When etiquette is disregarded and rules are ignored, the competition is at its best. The hunters eventually gain control of the island and obstruct the development of civilization.

The theme of "the relationship between violence and human nature" was developed as the repercussions of war on people and on social ties are a major issue in Lord of the Flies. The presence of the naval commander at the story's finale emphasizes its use of allegory. The officer's presence has unsettling implications since Golding contends that even a battle fought in the name of civilization might bring mankind to the brink of savagery. The boys grieve in the novel's last scene as they mourn the loss of their innocence, drawing readers into the boys' agony. The lads embody the period's wartime inclinations, despite their immaturity and lack of instruction.

Hence the correct option is, Golding uses description to emphasize how the island has influenced Jack.
