Irony
It is ironic how Simon is murdered for being mistaken as a beast when he is considered the Christ like figure on the island. Jesus is universally known to be the savior, while Simon was on his way to save the boys literally and metaphorically by telling them truth about the beast, he was murdered for being mistaken as the devil (beast).
It is also ironic that Jack says, “after all, we are not savages” in the beginning of the story, but he himself becomes the leader of the savage tribe. The naval officer thinks that they are playing when he reaches the island but Jack and his hunters are actually trying to kill Ralph.

He then used his skill and found it valuable to win over the other kids on the island to make a new group and make him the leader of it. After some time and conflict, Jack had everyone on the island under his command or killed
