Simon in the Lord of the Flies, resembles a Christ figure. Ever since the beginning of the book, Golding showed Simon as a character with bright eyes that would symbolize a vision of hope. Throughout the book Simon showed concern for the weaker boys on the island. He would always be there to help them. For example, when Jack said that Piggy didn't help with making the fire, Simon stepped up saying "We used his specs. He helped that way". And Simon was there to help out the littluns as well. Simon also gave Ralph hope to go back home by saying "You'll get back all right", thus showing his Christ like side.
