Ralph believes the beast is a figment of the boys' imagination, a product of their fear and the darkness within them. Jack, on the other hand, promotes the idea of a physical beast on the island to instill fear in the boys and consolidate his power.

Then the beast progressed to coming from the air when the parachutist fell from the sky and SamnEric saw it while watching the signal fire. Simon is the one to truly discover that the beast lives within the boys and that everyone has those savage instincts. When he discovers this, he goes to the top of the mountain and unwraps the parachutist and brings the parachute. In the end, the boys believe they killed the beast when in fact in was Simon.

Although Jack initially agrees he also adds the proviso, "but if there was a beast we'd hunt and kill it." Later he changes his stance to "How could we kill it?" ... "and remember, if you go hunting leave the head as an offering for the beast."
