Explanation:
"Lord of the Flies" is a novel by author William Golding. A group of young boys ends up stranded on a deserted island and, without the presence and authority of an adult, the relationship between the boys falls into chaos. Roles and decisions are based on strength and age, the younger and weaker often being despised. Savagery eventually becomes the new normal for some.
<u>Amidst the mess, Simon is a character that symbolizes goodness. He becomes a prophet-like character, seemingly more spiritually evolved than the others. Simon often retreats to be alone. When among the others, he is kind to the young and the weak. He is almost like a saint, whose goodness reminds readers that, even though savagery is now reigning, the boys still have the potential to be kind and altruistic.</u>
