Bloody Dictators
In the novel, Lord of the flies, by William Golding; there is a group of boys stranded in a island without any adults. There is one boy named jack is the leader of a choir group, and loves to hunt. Jack and Adolf Hitler were dictators. Jack and Hitler used their power to manipulate people, used violence on people to get what they wanted, and they took citizens' resources.
Jack and Hitler were manipulators they both controlled people. Golding writes,(1) " I gave you food, and if there is a beast it is my hunters that will protect you" this means that jack is trying to control them by saying that he will protect them. In shmoop they state that(2) " Hitler goes to Austria and tells them to join together to form a greater Germany". Hitler brainwashed them to join together so Hitler could gain power. Jack and Hitler both offer benefits to manipulate people into following them.
Both Hitler and Jack both used violence to get what they wanted. Golding writes,(1)"There were no words and no movement but the tearing of teeth and Claws". This quote was chosen to refer to show how Simons body react to the beating he took that Jack let happen by referring him to the beast. This quote connects to Hitler and Jack because, In sparknotes they state that (3)" Hitler created concentrate camps specially for Jews, in those camps they were ruled by the Nazi rulers, the Jews worked hard for hours and got starved & get beat if they didn’t do what the Nazis told them what to do". Hitler used the Jews as scape goat as Jack used Simon as scape goat.
Hitler and Jack both took citizens resources. Golding writes,(1)” He was a chief now in the truth; and he made stabbing motions with his spears, from his left hand dangled piggy’s broken glasses”. Jack stole their ability to create fire and get rescued. On History.com, it states, (4)“Hitler would take citizens; rights, money, business, & countries”. They took from their people because they were selfish. They only wanted to gain more power.
Jack and Hitler were dictators because; they both manipulated people, used violence to get what they want, and they took citizens resources. Hitler was really notorious, he wanted to gain power like Jack. He was also corrupt and hard headed like Hitler. This is why they are really similar dictators.
