    Since the hunters can accept indignity from a feeling of safety, they secure the pig’s head, who “grin[s] amusedly,” into the floor as “a gift” for the beast (Golding 151). From their beliefs in a leviathan or ghost upon the island, the boys accept savagery and believe they can physically kill their fear. Relying on superstitions, the hunters trust that the beast will accept the offering of a dead animal, yet issues remain due to the lack of understanding that their fear remains irrational. When a child witnesses the figure, the Lord of the Flies malevolently identifies itself as “the Beast” who remains the dark and evil “part” in all beings (Golding 143). As a physical form of mankind’s vileness, the head behaves derisively towards the children since they falsely believe that they possess no evil when killing peers and torturing creatures. The Lord of the Flies influences the children to accept their lack of innocence, yet their fear of accepting a inner savagery results in further damage to the island as the boys act recklessly. Ralph, escaping from his predators, encounters the pig’s “teeth grin[ning]” at him and holding his “gaze masterfully” and “effort[lessly]” (Golding 185). Evil residing in Ralph’s consciousness causes him to feel the entity with the everlasting grin, a reminding of his corruption in contrast from…

    This scene is important to the plot because it shows how Jack controls people and sets up the symbolism of the pigs head. One of the characters, Simon finds the pigs head and (in most likely a dream) reveals itself to be the lord of rhe flies. The pigs also tells Simon that the Beast is inside of everyone and never existed in the first place. I think this shows that the boys are all capable of being evil and has a dark side to them. Since the characters represent different types of people in the world, it shows that we humans are also capable of becoming evil.…

    The novel’s title, Lord of the Flies, originates from a mistranslation of Beelzebub, another name for the devil. In the novel, the Lord of the Flies, the sacrificed pig head on a stick, is a symbol for both the devil and evil. Simon’s confrontation with the Lord of the Flies is a result of severe dehydration and an epileptic fit indicated by “a pulse [that] began to beat on the brain” (Golding 138). His experience parallels Christ’s confrontation with the devil during the forty days he went into the wilderness without food or drink. During the vision, Simon is able to understand that “things are what they are” because evil is “part of you [the boys]” (Golding 143). Simon’s enlightenment is like Jesus Christ’s understanding of God. Since Simon’s meeting with the Lord of the Flies occurs during a delusion, it can be considered a prophecy, similar to an oracle’s vision, that foreshadows his own death. The Lord of the Flies ridicules Simon by saying “You know perfectly well you’ll only meet me down there” (Golding 143) and “You’re not wanted...We are going to have fun on this island [by wreaking havoc]!” (Golding 144) which indicates his upcoming death. The flies that surround the Lord of the Flies’ “pile of guts” made their way to Simon and “tickled under his nostrils and played leapfrog on this thighs” (Golding 178) and foreshadows evil is closing…
