History HoYay / LordoftheFlies

** Hell, even analyses from various books mention this dynamic between the three: ''Meet Jack.[...]he loves shedding blood. Ralph he rather likes, and the liking is mutual. Piggy he despises and insults.''

Since Literature/LordOfTheFlies focuses on a group of boys stranded on an island, there's bound to be some HoYay to go around. Albeit, most of it seems to be focused on [[FoeYay two specific boys...]]

* Jack and Ralph undoubtedly have the most HoYay compared to anyone else, considering their relationship is arguably the most important one in the book. Even though they become enemies later, the HoYay never disappears. It just gets much...[[FoeYay intense.]]

* A minor joke has come to be amongst the fandom that Roger is a Jack/Ralph shipper. The reason for this is due to something that's barely even noticeable: In the book, when the three of them go anywhere, Roger always drops behind and gives the other two space so they can be alone.

** A lot of their dialogue is almost identical to lovers' quarrels. Jack ''hates'' when Ralph favors Piggy over him and usually acts like a paranoid boyfriend who thinks that his partner is going to cheat on him.

** The '63 movie doesn't include this scene, but it doesn't include a similar one where Jack is punishing a boy from his tribe by [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence spanking him with a stick.]]

* Then there is the hunting scene where a choir boy named Robert pretends to be the pig while the other boys pretend to hunt him. Jack barely lets anyone approach as ''he literally goes on top of Robert, pulls at his hair, and spanks him,'' [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence the scene reminding us of something else entirely]]. It ends with Jack rolling off of him and saying, "That was a good game," while Robert retorts with, "Oh, my bum."

* Although we recognize that this is a little ridiculous, if you [[InsaneTrollLogic overthink and reinterpret everything,]] Jack eventually kind of becomes a {{Yandere}} for Ralph. Earlier on he's already possessive of Ralph and hates when he pays attention to the other boys. He's clearly [[CrazyJealousGuy furiously jealous]] whenever this happens: he insults Simon (who greatly admires Ralph) behind his back and is absolutely ''ferocious'' towards Piggy (who likes Ralph and sticks by his side at all times). After establishing that he likes Ralph and despises Piggy, Jack becomes obsessed with [[RuleOfSymbolism hunting pigs.]] Jack grows to hate Ralph because he is more logical and gets in the way of Jack's violent fixation with power, but even as his insanity grows, it's evident he will let Ralph live if he joins his tribe. In other words, [[{{Yandere}} Ralph can either]] [[HomoeroticSubtext submit to him]] [[IfICantHaveYou or DIE.]]

* A minor joke has come to be amongst the fandom that Roger is a Jack/Ralph shipper. The reason for this is because, although it doesn't exactly stand out, whenever the three of them go somewhere, Roger drops behind and gives the two space.

--->'''Peter Brook:''' I remember that, in the longer version, as in the book, Jack and Ralph had an almost husband and wife relationship, I mean, they were great friends--I don't mean that in a sexual sense--they were great friends, great comrades, they shared concerns, and in the film most of that is missing. Those ten minutes or so that were removed, I think it diminished that aspect of their relationship almost to the point of disappearing. I don't think it weakens the story, I think it changes the story, somewhat, and I think that it leaves room for the audience to imply what they will about the relationship between Jack and Ralph, rather than giving the specific intention of the original story.

* There's also some HoYay in Jack and Roger's relationship. Kind of inevitable, as they're the two worst boys on the island and Roger is Jack's right-hand man.

Jack barely lets anyone approach as ''he literally goes on top of Robert, pulls at his hair, and spanks him, [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence the scene reminding of something else entirely]]''.

* It's become something of a joke amongst the fandom to say that Roger is a Jack/Ralph shipper because in the book, whenever he goes anywhere with them, he always drops behind them and gives them space.

** After Jack and his hunters separate from Ralph's group, Roger appreciates [[InLoveWithYourCarnage Jack's violent and dangerous ways,]] specifically in the form of admiring the [[ChekhovsGun boulder trap]] Jack set up.
-->'''Roger:''' He's [Jack's] a proper chief, isn't he?

** Many couldn't help but notice how they act like a couple during the first part of the book; Ralph always has expectations from Jack and is particularly upset with the latter when he doesn't respect his wish of keeping the fire lit, despite that it isn't only Jack's fault, but other kids' too.

** Don't forget how they use the term "do you" to mean "kill you" (because I seriously doubt that the LotF wanted to "do" Simon in the way the language may suggest).

* Simon and Ralph. But then again, with a book about a bunch of boys stranded on island for a period of time, HoYay is inevitable
