The Jester's Tale

The tale I will tell is of pigs on a farm. This isn’t a story you've heard before so don't be alarmed.
There once were two pigs, Albert Einswine, and Piggi Hamlinson.
Albert wasn't the most handsome pig on the farm.
But once he met Piggi he wooed her with his charm.
Soon they were married and Albert did anything Piggi asked of him. He made sure she had fresh mud, allowed her to eat most of the food and even brought her flowers every day.
Piggi didn't do much for Albert but he was okay that things were this way.
One day a new pig was brought to the farm. He was very large and confident, with his snout in the air he introduced himself, “I am Sir Porksalot” he said.
Piggi felt her heart flutter, “I'm Piggi Hamlinson” she said overjoyed. “ You mean Mrs.Einswine” Albert corrected , “And I am …show more content…

Albert thought nothing of this and was not alarmed. But meanwhile Piggi began to fall for Porksalot’s good looks, they both had interests in mystery books.
Albert was busy with food he needed to arrange.
Later at dinner Albert noticed Piggi was acting strange .
“What's wrong my dear?” Albert said concerned. “I don't think we are a good match” she responded coldly. Albert was hurt and taken aback “What do you mean? I love you more than the world!” he said. Piggi snorted “ I don't love you, I love Porksalot! He is better looking than you are” Wiith those words Piggi trotted away.
To Sir Porksalot’s pen she went, for a night and a day. And Albert sat sadly alone in the dark wondering where he went wrong.
He thought to himself, “ Is it possible she never loved me all along?”
Meanwhile Piggi began to realize she and Porksalot were not the best pairing.
He showed her no affection, he didn't even like sharing.
Piggi quickly began to regret her decision, sure Albert wasn't attractive, but he loved her dearly.
Spending time with Sir Porksalot allowed her to see this quite

    Intellectually advanced compared to others, but easily mistreated, Piggy has the persona of a geek. Piggy is an outstanding representation of perseverance. Originally, when Piggy introduces himself to Ralph he begs him to call him anything but “Piggy.” Yet, as soon as people begin to talk to Ralph he let’s the horrid nickname slip, “He’s not Fatty,” cried Ralph, ‘his real name’s Piggy,” (17). Though Piggy is always ignored,

    "Piggy saw the smile and misinterpreted it as friendliness. There had grown up tacitly among the biguns the opinion that Piggy was an outsider, not only by accent, which did not matter, but by fat, and ass-mar, and specs, and a certain disinclination for manual labour." (Golding 68)

    It is hard to find a perfect match for Piggy. He is full of sensible, bright ideas, but because he is fat, a nerd and wears glasses, no one will listen to him except for Ralph. He was also kind of irritating. For example, he followed the rules too much. If something wasn’t done the way he knew was right, he would get all irate. Then, of course, when it went wrong, Piggy had no hesitation in telling people that he could’ve done it better.

    Through the course of the novel, Albert is an appalling husband, father, and person.  He treats his wife, Celie as if she is his slave from the beginning of their arranged marriage; he expects her to cook three meals a day, and take care of his many children from his previous marriage.  Albert does not begin to realize the pain he is causing, or at least try to make himself change until Celie leaves him.  “You a lowdown dog is what’s wrong, I say.  It’s time to leave you and enter into the Creation.  And your dead body is just the welcome mat I need…”  (Walker 207).  It took words as powerful as these for him to become aware of the fact that he did not love or resp...

    Both Piggy and Ralph’s personalities had a large amount of contrasts that determined their relationship at the beginning of the story. Piggy was the outcast, due to his large awkward body, his thick glasses and his know-it-all personality. While Ralph on the other hand was the stereotypical image of an ordinary boy. Piggy had no friends, besides those that he lived with. Thus was not used to being among other children. He quickly trusted, and latched onto Ralph, ignoring Ralph’s constant teasing . Ralph was insecure as all boys his age are, he didn’t really want to be caught liking the outcast so he teased him. “I don’t care what they call me, so long as they don’t call me what they used to call me at school…They used to call me Piggy'; (Golding: pg.11) Piggy confided to Ralph, asking him to be secretive, thinking that Ralph was his friend. When really he couldn’t care less about Piggy’s fate. Ralph betrayed Piggy by announcing to all the other boys Piggy’s name, not really caring about the consequences it would have on Piggy and Ralph’s friendship. Piggy is hurt but quickly forgives and forgets, thinking that him and Ralph are friends. Ralph doesn’t really mind Piggy’s dependence upon him, but finds Piggy to be a bore and does not consider him to be a friend. “Piggy was a bore; his fat, his ass-mar and his matter of fact ideas were dull, but their was always a little pleasure to be got out of pulling his leg, even if one did this by accident'; (Golding: pg.65). Ralph joined the others in teasing him, especially about his asthma and his love and dependence upon his auntie.

    At “less than two months old” the pig was “tired of living,” and he escaped from his pen into the real world. Wilber realized he’s “too young to go out into the world alone” representing the way teens are not as prepared as they think they are in the adult world. Then, after realizing he might die, Wilber peeds, saying he doesn't “want to die.” Eventually, Wilber, from his state of depression, begins to consider other people's discomfort instead of focusing on his own. The confidence of Wilber goes from him seeing himself as an “average” pig to “feel[ing] radiant.” Charlotte taught Wilber persistence and since then “he was not a quitter and was willing to try again” when he failed. All in all he did “his best to live up to his reputation.” After the one that gave him life, Charlotte, died, he was reunited with her in a way “treaur[ing] her memory.” He pledged to her three kids “friendship,” like he had

    It is ironic how the most optimistic situations turn out terribly, in an almost mocking way. Piggy is doomed from the start, they savagely hunt and kill pigs, torturing them and enjoying it. It is the beast within each boy that kills Piggy, as it is the beast within that eats away at any civilized instincts. Ralph wishes, ‘If only they could send a message to us. If only they could send us something grown-up … a sign or something’(p:117).
