Ralph is a strong representative of "Aryan" perfection in the novel with his blonde hair and boyish good looks he seems normal. But let us not forget that this is a novel grounded in reverse symbolism (Trans symbolism) and what seems good and honest is actually horrific. Still keeping on the subject of Ralph, he has a strange habit of standing on his head, is this just a childish habit of his or is Golding trying to tell us something. Is it symbolic of the grounds of the novel is the symbolism "upside down?" in order to see things clearly you have to turn things the right way up. I find it interesting that Golding is trying to get this message across with Ralph as Ralph is possibly the most upside down person in the whole novel.
Another one is Simon. Many people believe that Simon is the Christ figure of the novel, but if he is, do answer me this, why does Simon offer fruit to the littleuns in the style of the Devil? Why would he be described as the "Beast" as his body lay dead on the ground? And why would he be having a conversation with the Lord Of The Flies in which the Lord Of The Flies says; "you"re part of me Simon." This is plenty more proof towards the fact that things are not as they seem on the island.
Then there is the choir, a line of boys marching like troops towards the other boys on the beach. This is another group of people who bring bad things with them. I"m sure it was not by accident that when it was approaching in the distance in chapter one that Golding described it as "a black, bat like creature that danced in the sand." There are continuous referrals to the choir as "a creature" this suggests to me that they are also bad people. Also with the choir is the Sergeant Major-like ginger boy who is "ugly without silliness," Jack Merridew. He certainly has a dark side to him. Apart from the blood and gore he later on becomes addicted to we fires see him vaulting onto the platform, "his black cloak flying and circling.
