do you think that piggy was bitter and resented ralph for constantly abandoning him (even later in the book when piggy was his right hand man)
YES! yes I really do, and I’d even go so far as to say he is a little pretentious in that nerdy little kid way, so he already doesn’t like most everyone
but that’s the thing, he’s so anti-emotional bc he’s focused on surviving that it’ll never be enough to ever make him turn on Ralph bc he needs him as a talking piece yk, but I’d definitely say so
If we’re being really honest, I don’t view anyone on this island as friends LMFAOOOOOOO
I just think that’s a boring approach tho so I disregard the obvious tension in every relationship and make them a big happy family
but yes Peter fucking hates that guy ac, in my mind he compliments and supports Ralph bc he can’t have him lose hope or else he’s damned too
I think this interpretation also makes sense with the whole intellect thing, bc I don’t think Golding meant to say logic will always be beat out when shit hits the fan, but more so it won’t be enough. But to have that statement, Peter had to have achieved something or have been effective for a short instance, and I think getting Ralph to fully believe in himself, Peter as a friend, and keep fighting was his achievement. It’s a fairly impressive one too, considering how weak Ralph is lmfao
