.... in the book when Catherine is "in the throes of her self-induced illness" (p38). When asking for her husband, she is told by Nelly Dean that Edgar is "among his books," and she cries, "What in the name of all that feels has he to do with books when I am dying."

Lord Of The Flies Book Analysi
.... earlier on in the book.
"Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!" (Chap. 7, pg. 114) This line shows that they have pretty much lost it by now. It describes their loss of hope for rescue, and that they have developed a superiority complex. The rush they get from ending a life has made them go insane and clouded their judgement. As the book goes on and they say this line more often, wackiness follows.
"Coming?" (Chap. 7, pg. 119) Although Ralph was a good leader and had g .....
