When the speaker says, ‘Literary criticism is not your forte’ he means that you’re not good at criticizing, so just don't try it. Forte refers to a person’s strong suit or characteristics at which he/she is good at. In simple words, forte means a skill or talent of a person.
Simon and Piggy were not all that different. Simon was good and kind, but perhaps a little bit braver than Piggy. Piggy was timid, and vulnerable from years of torment and bullying, but somehow still a good person. Although the world around them seemed to be going mad, they both remained kind, whereas characters like Ralph and Jack added to the madness, and caused even more problems.
It gives the reader an understanding of how a character understands their world. My favorite example of this was in 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas'. While the main character isn't the narrator, it gives the reader insight into how much the character did NOT understand of his world.
