In chapter seven there is a quarrel between Ralph and Robert where by Robert was “jabbed ” by Ralph with Eric’s spear.  There was also a group of boys that made a circle around Ralph and Robert and the crowd was yelling or rather chanting “kill him, kill him”.  It was as if for a brief moment they had lost all knowledge of their humanity and devolved into horrific and savage beasts.  The type of beasts that lives in caves and grunted as a form of communication rather than a group of young British boys that were highly sophisticated and able to survive together in peace rather than in pieces .
Another event that occurred was when they found a new cave and inside the cave they found the beast – this was also another sign of control between Jack and Ralph .
