Lord of the Flies is clearly based on The Coral Island in which the three main characters are Ralph, Jack and Peterkin. Lord of the Flies has no character named Peterkin but it does have Piggy whose real name is never revealed. In addition, Peterkin is depicted as the follower of the trio. Like the rest of the book, the character could be an intentional deconstruction of what it would really be like for him on a deserted island. As a bonus, both names start with P.

* In the book, Ralph goes "savage" a couple times (i.e., when "hunting" Robert). I always thought that Ralph was fighting to keep his inner beast down, like Jekyll does, but sometimes it came out, like Hyde.

[[WMG: Merridew isn't Jack's name]]
He was very quick to insist that was his name, and that he didn't want to be called Jack. Seems like he was trying to give himself a nickname.

Think about it. The book is probably set during the 1950s or 60s, during World War III (as an atomic bomb being dropped is mentioned early in the book). Ring any bells? This is precisely what the Party said happened during that time (making it a very rare case of them actually telling the truth). In addition, the two books have similar underlying themes: authoritarianism and power for the taking, above democracy and power for anybody who can win the favor of others.
