Jacks mask is a symbol of Savagery. When Jack puts on the mask he lets out the real beast, shouting, it lets them be whatever they want and not have to deal with the consequences of their actions. Jack is pulling the littleuns into becoming savages themselves and soon no one will be civilized. The island seems to be bringing out their true characteristics.
Piggy's glasses represent how he sees them, not literally but more of the boys qualities and their priorities. Piggy tells Ralph that if Jack were to become Chief he would come after him. Piggy realizes Jacks real intentions, as well as what he is capable of. His glasses started the fire multiple times, meaning that his glasses could also be a representation of life because without them they would have never been able to start a fire.
The idea of the mask represent savagery and being able to tell when someone is running towards being a savage. as well as what a person with savagery would be like. The idea of the glasses represents being able to see past someones physical appearance and looking at their motives.
