The fear of the unknown is a very powerful thi

In conclusion to this very eventful adventure on this island, man is supposed to be influenced by his surroundings to become evil, but in this novel the Lord of the Flies William Golding demonstrates how fear of the unknown, loss of religion, and destruction of civilization and leadership can bring back unknown abilities or behaviors that we have always known but have been taught to forget. It proved that human nature is not always what it seems to be, and sometimes fear can change us all, even the most unlikely ones.

Unfortunately death does occur both in civilized societies and in native cultures, it is a part of life. The death of Simon though, is unexpected. Simons was a Christ figure in the novel therefore with Simon out of the picture, the religious reasoning has opened up and the boys have abandoned Christ. “A thing was crawling out of the forest. It came darkly, uncertainly”(168). This proves that Simon did not know what would happen to him when he came crawling out of the forest, he did not know he would be attacked by the savages that mistook him for a beast. His dead body washing away out to the ocean symbolizes that the Christ figure is not on the island anymore, and also that the savages had no clue to what was real and what was not, they were fully back into their evil self, knowing what they had done, they had murdered Simon! Also the painting of the faces in the group symbolizes that they feel the need to kill more, and this means they have turned even farther to savagery. “For hunting. Like in the war … Like things trying to look like something else”(66). No
