"Lord of the Flies" uses symbols like the conch shell to represent civilization and order, the signal fire to symbolize hope and rescue, and the beast as a representation of the inherent evil within humanity. The character of Piggy symbolizes reason and intelligence, while Jack symbolizes savagery and the desire for power.

∙ 12y agoI don't know if you just need a list of some symbols in Lord of the Fliesbut here are a few...
The most important symbol in the book is most likely the pig's head on the stick. When Simon hallucinates and believes the pig's head is talking to him, the head refers to itself as the "Lord of the Flies", which was another name for Beelzebub, aka: the devil. The boys put the head on the stick as an offering to the Beast, which ironically resides in themselves. Another one would be the fire, which symbolizes civilization and cognitive thought in humans. The conch shell is a symbol of democracy: whoever holds it has the right to speak his mind and everyone must get an equal share in this power.
