Jack is someone that has a relationship with love that's difficult.
He has a relationship with shame that's very, very clear.
And he has a relationship with the need to lead, the need to be Ralph, which is very, very... I don't want to use the word complicated again, but that is the right word in this.
There's so many shades to him as a character.
And without him...
that island becomes a safe place because he is the ingredient that changes things.
Maybe someone else would emerge, but Jack is the match that sparks the rift.
Jack is the match that then sets fire to the island.
And yet...
If one or two moments were different, the whole story would change.
If one or two moments, if Ralph and him managed to find each other in one or two moments, if Jack had less of a violent reaction to certain things in one or two moments, the whole story becomes different.
And so it's a tragedy.
And it's a tragedy that's about the little things we do, the little decisions we make, and trying to capture that and
is almost impossible in story form, but Golding does it.

And the performances are just incredible.
I don't know how Mark Munden, who's our brilliant director, I don't know how he got these performances out of these kids.
