Jack's leadership style is that of a tyrant. So, the idea
of him wanting rules does seem a little strange. Here are the words that demosntrate
Jack making his request. There are some clues in his tone and his
thoughts:
“We’ll have rules!” he cried
excitedly. “Lots of rules! Then when anyone breaks
’em–"
Jack seemed to look
forward to the opportunity to punish others. This must have been exciting to him. He
must have a violent streak in him.
This violent streak is
already apparent in his struggle to deal with the present authority in Ralph. Jack
himself does not want to be bound to or accountable to another man. The person who is
not willing to submit to a higher authority is often not willing to obey rules.
Therefore, it is ironic that Jack would be excited about them.
