Through out the chapters one to four, Jack has stood out the most with his varying characteristics. In chapter 1, he was shown as a selfish tall boy who likes to order people around like his choir. He wanted to be the leader of 'The Littluns' so he can control the whole island by himself but he was outvoted when the boys selected Ralph as a leader. Then, he felt ashamed that he is the only one who is the choir leader and being the choir leader is the greatest that no one can resist. When Ralph proudly honored him to the leader of the choir and gave him the job for hunting, he felt much better. He respected Ralph's orders and is very obedient at following the instructions.
In chapter 2, he becomes more and more careful and responsible when he tells everyone about the island that it has pigs they can hunt and use them as food. He feels sorry for not killing the pig while he was exploring so he tells everyone that he will kill and bring meat to them next time. He gave the Littluns hope that they can survive here and can get rescued by the grown-ups.
In chapter 3, he becomes more clever and aware of catching the pigs and how to find the herds. When he intelligently feels the warmth of the dropping and stay quite but he still remains intimidated to Piggy.
In chapter 4, he figures out how to paint the faces and Camouflage with green forest. He becomes more softer and becomes to feel apologized when says sorry to Ralph for letting the fire out but still again he feels no emotions towards Piggy when slammed his head and broke his glasses. Maybe he will change and will become the most outstanding character of the book. Maybe through the book he will become friendly to Piggy and finally maybe stop bulling him at the end.
Chapter 1:
"I ought to be chief,' said Jack with simple arrogance, ' because I'm chapter chorister and head boy. I can sing C sharp.' -page 18 'Jack is in charge of the choir. They can be-what do you want them to be?' 'Hunters' Jack and Ralph smiled at each other with shy liking. The rest began to talk eagerly."-page 20
Chapter 2:
"This is our island. Until the grown-ups come to fetch us we'll have fun.' 'There's pigs,' he said 'There's food; and bathing-water in that little stream along there-and everything. Didn't anyone find anything else?' " -page 33
Chapter 3:
"The dropping were warm. They lay piled among turned earth. They were olive green, smooth, and they steamed a little. Jack lifted his head and stared at the inscrutable masses of creeper that lay across the trail... -the promise of meat..."-page 49
Chapter 4:
" Jack planned his new face. He made one cheek and one eye-socket white, then rubbed red over the other half of his face and slashed a black bar of charcoal across form right ear to left jaw." -page 66 "Ralph made a step forward and Jack smacked Piggy's head. Piggy's glasses flew off and tinkled on the rock. Piggy cried out in terror: 'My specs!' "-page 75

Jack is definetly my least favorite character! He really has an ugly sense of cruelty that is probably the main reason why he is so naturally unlikeable! I agree with most of your examples except when you say that he becomes more clever in chapter 3. I still don't understand how some one with this impoliteness and arrogance can be the leader of a choir!
P.S I like all the quotes you mentioned as well!
I think he starts to learn more in chapter 3, all the practice is making him a better hunter and he's learning from his mistakes. But he's also getting too obsessed with all the killing.
I never liked Jack, he always seems like he's ready to stir up trouble. He's a bully!
I liked the picture by the way, although it is a little creepy I think it represents how Jack is made to appear to us.
