Rules and Order:

"Shut up," said Ralph absently. He lifted the conch. "Seems to me we ought to have a chief to decide things."

"A chief! A chief!"

"I ought to be chief," said Jack with simple arrogance, "because I'm chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp." 

"We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything."

“[Ralph is] like Piggy. He says things like Piggy. He isn't a proper chief.”

Primitivity:

[Jack] tried to convey the compulsion to track down and kill that was swallowing him up.

"I went on. I thought, by myself—"

The madness came into his eyes again.

"I thought I might kill."

[Jack] began to dance and his laughter became a bloodthirsty snarling. 

Power and Fear:

"Perhaps […]. We'd better keep on the right side of him [Jack], anyhow. You can't tell what he might do."

The tribe considered this; and then were shaken, as if by a flow of wind. The chief saw the effect of his [Jack's] words and stood abruptly.

“You're no good on a job like this.”

"Jack's in charge of the choir. They can be—what do you want them be?"

"Hunters."

Jack and Ralph smiled at each other
