So I know I’ve already discussed about her but I left a few things untouched/underdeveloped. So this is kinda more in depth I guess? 🥲

￬ Previous post about Alice ￬

Relationships: I’ve talked about this topic in my first post, mostly about her strongest relationship with Ralph and how he struggled to see her past her gender, but I think I failed to mention more of their relationship in the earlier stages. Before, Ralph relied on Alice for emotional stability and to be his anchor. (If you want more info on that, read my other post about Alice! 😙) Their relationship was quite awkward at first. I’ve stated that Ralph had your typical “school boy” crush on Alice and how this could make him feel very shy or awkward around Alice, making him be more dismissive of her. Kind of giving Alice the “you just sit there and look pretty!” treatment. I also think Ralph would tease her a bit. Not like how Piggy was teased, but more of a playful way to make himself more charming. I also want to mention that I leave a lot of what type of relationship they are up to interpretation. I think Ralph, despite not really respecting Alice, still made an effort for her to like him. Whether it’s romantic, platonic, or psychological, all of those answers are/can be correct! I also thought it would help Alice feel more like her own person outside of Ralph.

Now I wanna talk more about her relationship with Jack because I left a lot of empty room. (And my brain melts anytime I write about that little pos) Now I’ve stated they share a mutual dislike for each other, but earlier in their relationship it wasn’t as bad, more passive-aggressive. Now there’s no real reason why they were hostile towards each other. I think there’s a lot of factors like Jack being unlikable, losing the “charisma contest” to Ralph, being unattractive, or even what Alice heard from what Simon said about him. Now I wanna add, similar to Ralph, that Jack would also probably tease Alice, but instead of it being playful or charming like Ralph does. It would probably have an undertone of misogyny or even violence. I don’t think Jack and Alice could ever truly get along, not because they argue a lot but because Jack finds Alice’s femininity a threat, while Alice thinks Jack is sinful and gluttonous.

Onto the other 2 relationships I didn’t touch on 🥲 is Piggy and Simon.

Starting with Simon, as this might have been her second-closest relationship. I mentioned how they were pretty good friends and enjoyed each other's company! Probably because of the gentle worldview they shared. I like to think they became friends through being outcasts. No one listened to Simon, and Alice was always being dismissed. A big reason why I think Alice would like him so much is that Simon is physically and socially weaker than her. So I imagine Alice can be more at peace and still share her view on things. Now I doubt Alice had much of an understanding for Simon as he did for her. She found what he said strange but amusing. Even going so far as to call him a “Teddy bear with a voice box,” which can be interpreted as a selfish gesture from Alice. While Simon is connected due to her “angelic presence,” as he claims. Now this could mean a couple of things. This could be what he hallucinates, seeing Alice as this angelic type of person, or because of the concern she shows for him during his faints or episodes. I think you can imagine how crushed Alice was when Simon died. So much guilt would wash over her, to the point where I think the constant shift from selfish to empathetic in her personality would spiral even more.

(NOTE: I like to think Simon would let Alice mess with his hair!🩷 Like braiding, pig tails, putting flowers in it, etc! I think it could show that Simon wasn’t really afraid of femininity and make him seem stranger to the others)

Now onto Piggy, I honestly believe they would have the most average relationship ever. Like, they weren’t exactly friends, but I don’t see them having any big issues with each other. I think Alice would find him obnoxious and embarrassing for his strict behavior on rules sometimes and laugh with the others when they called him names, but she would never go out of her way to bully him. Piggy probably wouldn’t go out of his way for her either. They would be more like acquaintances than friends. Only when Piggy dies does Alice feel true sympathy for Piggy and fear of the hunters, as they sealed his fate.

Speaking of fate, let’s talk about Alice’s fate!!

Alice’s fate- I’ve had a lot of thought on whether I wanted Alice to survive or not, but ultimately I decided that 🥁🥁 drumroll 🥁🥁she would survive. (barley) When Ralph’s tribe goes to retrieve Piggy’s glasses. This would end in Piggy’s death and Samneric getting taken prisoner. Alice would follow quickly after, with Jack pulling her back by her hair and using brute force and violence to take her prisoner as she tries to resist and cry out to Ralph for help. Ralph is forced to retreat but will soon return when he talks to Samneric. And when he does, Alice quietly sneaks out of the cave to speak to Ralph as well. With bruises, cuts, and puffy eyes, Alice quickly asks Ralph to take her with him. Ralph happily agrees as he gets back his emotional anchor and an ally and pulls her towards him as they both tumble over each other into the woods. If you remember the flower that Ralph gifted her in my first post, where he promised to be a good chief and protect, well, that hibiscus flower is nothing more than a few dead petals stuck in Alice’s hair. Showing that Ralph failed to keep his promise and that their relationship turned from a “pretty” tie between the two into a deep, intense traumatic experience.

As the hunters smoke out Ralph and Alice, they split up, running in completely different directions, with their last will to survive till Ralph meets the naval officer. As he criticizes all the boys for not putting on a better show, Alice drops down onto the floor with Ralph and the hunters. The officer’s eyes widen, and his mouth goes agape as he begins to criticize her even harder because of how deeply disappointing it is to see a young girl fall into this savagery. Alice falls to her knees, wailing into her hands, with Ralph and the others following suit.

AND THAT’S ALL!!
