An example of how much the mind can take the torture and torment of the 'darkness of man's heart' is Ralph. Golding characterizes Ralph as a boy who has trouble reality and dreams. As Ralph drifts off into dreams, he could remember how nice life was before the plane crash. When he comes back to reality, he realizes how much he has changed in the way he handles things and his overall rationale. Eventually, Ralph would prove that he could not handle all the stresses, thus letting the animalism seep through him when he injures the pig.
