    Right Leg Bravery is shown within Simon when he trekked up the mountain by himself, despite the supposed sighting of the beast from the other boys. “Like an old man, through Simon’s “stagger” shown by his “glum determination” (Golding 146). Because “the beast was harmless”, it does not possess any physical threats since it’s a dead body, yet “horrible” in a way that it invoked fear into the group of boys (147). On the other hand, the “usual brightness from [Simon’s] eye” is gone which could represent how the good nature of the boys is being overpowered by their own inner beast (146). Not being wavered by fear, unlike the others, Simon overcomes it; therefore he understood the impact of their fear of the beast on them.…

Immediately, Jack retains the sense of decency and behavior that society has taught him. Susan Gulbin quoted Golding in saying "every man is part savage and that savagery is disguised or concealed only by the wall of civilization built by our ancestors" (Gulbin 87). Jack soon obsesses himself with hunting and devotes himself to the task, painting his face and giving himself over to bloodlust.…

    William Golding’s Lord of the Flies writes about the ideas of people’s personalities and the evil within the human heart. Set within an island, a group of young boys set out to survive and be rescued; however, it is later seen how the boys end up being wild and savage when they’re left without adult supervision. Golding depicts Simon as a scapegoat whose exceptional persona on an island of chaos and anarchy makes him a target for the stranded boys’ hatred/evil. Starting early on in the novel, Simon shows a caring, generous personality, which becomes a stigma that he is “unique” in comparison to the other boys. Even though the norm for the biguns on the beach was to ignore or not help the littluns; Simon was different in that, “Simon found…

F). These actions show the savagery of the children even though they are not the beast. Although, the boys think they saw a beast, who was actually Simon, they still acted more savage than the so called “beast”. These actions of the boys towards the beast and in finding out what the real “beast” is show what the true nature of man is. Lord of the Flies is a book that shows what can happen to those who have been cradled by civilization, once they are devoid of all that comfort and left to fend for themselves.…
