Piggy



Piggy is a boy within the group. "Piggy" is not his true name (it is never given or implied on what is his true name), but a name given to him by boys in his school, and adopted by those stranded on the island with him.

Piggy is quite intelligent, always attempting to get his own word in as an effort to benefit himself and the rest of the group.

Piggy is scapegoated by the rest of the group due to his plump physique, as they see his only use to be his glasses, which are often utilized to start a fire when needed. He gets frustrated easily, which only aggravates the treatment given to him by the rest of the boys. Eventually, Jack's tribe raids Ralph and Piggy, taking his glasses. When the two (along wiht Samneric) go to get the glasses, they are refused, and Piggy is killed by a falling boulder and his body is swept away in the sea.
