74). When Simon gives Piggy his food, this was closely related to Christ who cared for others throughout his whole lifetime. Throughout the novel, Simon is one of the boys who always seemed to never turn savage. While the other boys were off hunting pigs and letting their “tangled hair” grow longer, Simon was in the forest to meditate (Golding 77). Much like Christ, who spent forty days and nights in the desert meditating. Furthermore, Simon represents Christ because Simon dies as a martyr…

It illustrates the increasing loss of innocence by manifesting only after an act of true evil was committed- the “raping” of the sow. When Simon first discovers it, it “speaks” to him by way of a hallucination caused by his epilepsy, and introduces itself as the "Beastie" (Elliott, Joyce, Shorvon, “Delusions”). This is ironic as the Lord of the Flies is composed of a truly innocent creature- the murdered sow. That the boys are determined to kill it suggests that they are intent on destroying…

Jack jumps on the chance to exhibit his "chapter chorister and head boy" status (Golding 22). The spectacle Jack tries to create over his standings in life off of the island express his great egotism. Later, after Jack tries and fails to kill the pig, he "snatche[s] his knife and slam[s]" it into a tree (Golding 31).…

William Golding’s main themes within Lord of the Flies are that of the hopelessness of mankind and of evil as an inborn trait of humanity. He shows these themes by using children unacquainted with experience to exhibit the evil within human nature. His characters and objects chosen to represent society and benignity are overcome by their counterparts. The presence of ‘the beast’ is Golding’s way of depicting the manifestation of inborn savagery within humans. Golding used Lord of the Flies to…

In The Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses allegory to portray how the boys on the island represent the corruption of man. Lawrence Friedman, in his 1997 essay “Grief, Grief, Grief: Lord of the Flies”, states that “the island opens in Eden.” He uses this to show how the boys are allusions to Adam and Eve, being in paradise, bringing sin and evil, and then ultimately destroying it.
