Fear shows up a lot during the time of the book. At first, the boys mostly fear the beast, but as the book comes to a close, they start to fear each other. I just want to say, this is one of the best books I have ever read. whenever I come upon an example of fear I make a circle around the page number or put a bookmark there. That is usually how I keep track; and then go back later to put them in the focus tracker.
Fear happens very frequently in Lord of the Flies, and stands out mostly of mention of the beast or at night. The littleuns usually freak out while Piggy, Jack, and Ralph argue, Simon just sits in his little corner, and Roger is planning to kill something silently. Just an inference. Jack says he can kill the beast, but Ralph doubts that and Piggy tries to talk himself out logically of there even being a beast.
