send me all the info you know to be true from Lord of the Flies because I have a report due on it and I had to return the book and never finished it
- They kill Piggy by pushing him off the cliff
- The conch got smashed symbolizing the destruction of order
- They all got saved in the end and they all burst in to tears
- Simons conversation with the dead pig head is a parallels Jesus’s 40 days of temptation by the devil but Simons death doesn’t bring salvation (is also a motif)
- some themes
- loss of innocence
- instinct vs order
- symbols
- conch is order
- piggy’s glasses is civilization
- state of the fire reflected state of civilization
- beast is instinct
- Ralph is order
- Piggy is intellectualism
- Jack is savagery
- Simon is the warmth of humanity (opposite of savagery)
and that’s as much as me and my boyfriend could pull together having not read the book for like 5 years. Hope it helps!
