Are there any examples of motifs in Chapter 5 of The Lord of the Flies? If none exist in Chapter 5, please provide another example. thanks

First let's define a motif so we are sure we are on the
same page. According to the Free Dictionary Online, a motif is a theme in a piece of
literature that recurs throughout the written work. For example, if an author wanted to
explore the theme of power corrupting, he would place several incidents in the piece
that illustrates that concept.

In chapter 5 of
Lord of the Flies, we see the recurring theme of the beast as it
relates not only to the boys fear, but also to the nature of evil and how that evil
rests in all of us as humans.

In previous chapters there
has been mention of a beast on the island by the littleuns. In this chapter, a littleun
says he actually saw a beast and the boys toy with the idea that it rises out of the
ocean each night. Jack uses the boys fear of the beast to take control...promising that
he and his hunters will protect them all from the
beast.

The image of the beast is also used to symbolize
evil in the form of Beezlebub (satan) and the evil in us all.
