... Lord of the Flies. The biggest illustration of symbolism in The Lord of the Flies is in relation to "the beast". The beast is seen as a real object on the island which frightens the boys. In reality, the beast is something internal. The fear of the beast is in soul and mind of the boys, leading them to the natural chaos ... the cruel savage beast in us all. Jack's tribe and fear of the beast contribute to the overwhelming belief that savagery, not order, and is needed to survive on the island. Symbolism was just as vivid in Shakespeare's MacBeth.
