What character traits does Ralph portay in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

brave

Another answerSimon is a loner but perhaps this is a result of being an epileptic. He often faints and the shame and embarrassment of having others witness him having a fit and losing control of his bodily functions would be sufficient reason for him to avoid company and spend time alone in his secret place. This fear of embarrassment also prevents Simon from expressing himself clearly during the meetings. Simon does seem to like Ralph in particular, perhaps hero worshiping the open, friendly and seemingly confident attractive and tall older boy. Simon seems willing to spend some of his time picking fruit for some of the smaller boys who can't reach it. Perhaps spending time alone has encouraged Simon to think but he seems to have realised what the real nature of the beast is, that it is simply part of themselves. For this reason Simon has no fear of going alone through the jungle, even at night. Simon is convinced that there isn't a real physical beast so he knows he has nothing to fear. After his epileptic fit and internal conversation with the evil within Simon is even more convinced that the beast is not a physical entity. He resolves to find out exactly what it was that Samneric had seen on the mountain top and does just that. Other than telling Ralph that he believed that the older boy would get back to where he came from, which could simply have been a statement intended to cheer up the preoccupied older boy there are no indication of Simon having a religious streak. The description of Simon as a Christ like figure has been made by some reviewers but this seems largely to have been based on his death, which wasn't an intentional sacrifice for the good of mankind at all but was simply a violent and ironic mistake.

Answer 2

Ralph in "Lord of the Flies" displays leadership, rationality, and a desire for order and civilization. He is determined to establish rules and maintain a sense of democracy among the boys stranded on the island. He also shows compassion and a willingness to listen to the concerns of others.

Answer 3

Simon is a quite boy who keeps to himself a lot. He is in the disputed area between biguns and littluns, so he is probably around 8, 9 or 10. He is described as being a skinny, vivid little boy with a pointed chin, a mop of straight black hair and bright eyes that had deceived Ralph into thinking him delightfully gay and wicked.

Simon represents a Jesus Christ. He doesn't say much, but when he speaks he says something of importance. His presence brings out the beauty in nature, and when he is mentioned in the novel, the scene is described in a way that is aesthetically pleasing.

Answer 4

Ralph in the lord of the flies is a Good leader, Brave and is Confidents about what he does and what steps he takes he always thinks before he leads to the next idea.
