I scribbled this exact question in my book at the top of page 19, probably out of frustration as a reader rooting for the character of Piggy. I mean, you know he is important to the meaning of this novel by this point in the book. Perhaps Piggy is an "anti-hero"?
Anti-hero: A central character in a work of literature who lacks traditional heroic qualities such as courage, physical prowess, and fortitude. Anti-heros typically distrust conventional values and are unable to commit themselves to any ideals. They generally feel helpless in a world over which they have no control. Anti-heroes usually accept, and often celebrate, their positions as social outcasts. Quoted from: http://www.gale.cengage.com/free_resources/glossary/
I also must scream out - why did 'so-and-so" tell Ralph that his nickname was Piggy?!?!???
Ralph is not afraid to make use of this info to his advantage.
Previous book check: In Night, was Elie Wiesel an anti-hero? In Animal Farm, was Benjamin the donkey an anti-hero?
