Jack handles those who disobey him by force and by simply beating them. Jack is symbolic of the brutal dictator who rules his subjects with force and the threat of force. Jack holds "councils" naked to the waist with his face "painted." Jack also handles difficult situations by ignoring them, or by easily dismissing them. His handling of Simon's death, for example. Overall, Jack is a leader of force, emotion, and irrational actions. His methods of control reflect all this.
