Simon In William Golding's Lord Of The Flies

Because of Gregor's change, he is treated with care from his sister, but the bond starts to erase when Gregor's family members see him as a disgusting being and a waste of space, so they move away from thinking the giant bug in the apartment is Gregor. Remember, Gregor had no factor on whether he changed form or not. It just happened. In “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, Gregor samsa is forced to be an outsider from society. A reason why Gregor is forced to be an outsider by society is he never had a choice to change form to cockroach but he was still treated poorly by his family.

In the book The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Simon would be the best leader. There aren’t an immense amount of qualities in Simon that some might see as leader material. He’s different compared to the others, though all the boys are unique in their own little way, he stands out the most. Maybe it’s because of his independent like personality or the fact that he is rational and uses logic before he lets his imagination get the best of him. There’s a lot of symbolism in The Lord of the Flies, and Simon represents the religious aspect in life, for example; morals.

The biggest fear of the boys on the island is the beast. Simon recognizes that the root of the fear is not an actual beast but, “maybe it’s only us,” (Golding ). In actuality, the boys are afraid of each other and what they are each capable of as individuals. While some could argue that it is the environment that eroded away the boys character, this thought is contradicted when Ralph says “this is a good island” (Golding ). This shows that the environment itself is not responsible for the boys behavior, but only acts as a revelation of who they really are under the masks that society gives them to hide behind.

For instance, “It was I who renamed him [...] Crawling backwards made him look like a Doodlebug, […] because nobody expects much from someone called Doodle.” Society’s attentiveness is predominantly towards the aspects of and in this story Doodle’s impairment seemed to have negative impacts on him that the society has caused. His brother saw him as a burden in many ways. Doodle must be treated gently as he was forbidden from certain activities and conditions, at the same time he was embarrassed to have a crippled brother at the age

From their experience on the island, now they are no longer innocent as they have been exposed to the evil nature of human beings. Humans can be evil, and they need just a right moment to become good to evil. It has always been hard for the boys stay together, even after trying so much. Every human being has two sides good, and evil, but the world sees only one side all the time, and the other one is always hidden and very curious to come out, so it needs only a bit of something wrong to come out. “Lord of the Flies” is not all about good or evil, right or wrong.

At first, the civilization is still intact with boys but as the novel progresses on, the boys develop a savage trait and their sense of civilization begins to dissipate. Jack and Ralph’s opposite mindsets are shown in the novel like the right to speak during meeting, when the group hunts pigs, the struggle over Piggy’s glasses, and finally with Simon’s death. Jack felt that without rules, a person is free to do whatever he desires, which exposes their true nature and it is almost if he does not know the difference between rights and wrong. Savagery and civilization is the common theme for the novel and as these two strong forces clash so do the boys. Ralph’s attempt to civilized the island is overtaken by the savagery that Jack holds.
