According to Golding, what role does male aggression play in Lord of the Flies?

William Golding explores humanity's inherent wickedness throughout the novel by depicting the extent of savagery and brutality on the island, which is expressed through male aggression. Male aggression is primarily responsible for the dangerous, threatening conditions on the island that develop as the novel progresses.
Certain characters, particularly Jack and Roger, embody male aggression and exert their authority by using violence and threatening the other boys. Jack, who is a power-hungry maniacal boy, reveals his male aggression by continually bullying Piggy, challenging Ralph, and physically intimidating the other boys. Similar to Jack, Roger also demonstrates his male aggression by savagely killing pigs, torturing boys, and brutally murdering Piggy.
Golding also portrays male aggression by illustrating Ralph and Jack's struggle for power. Ralph is forced to physically fight Jack several times and expresses his frustration through violence. When Ralph is challenged, his immediate response is to react with aggressive rhetoric or physical violence, which once again depicts male aggression. Simon is the only character to not demonstrate male aggression, which corresponds to his Christ-figure archetype.
Overall, William Golding portrays male aggression through the constant bickering, arguing, bullying, and physical violence on the island. Male aggression results in the uncivilized, dangerous environment and threatening atmosphere that develops on the island, which leads to the deaths of several boys.
