They find the body of the dead airplane pilot with his parachute still attached.
The boys determine that there is no beast on the island; rather, the "beast" is inside each of them, symbolizing the evil and darkness within human nature. This realization further fuels the growing savagery and chaos among the boys.

The boys in Lord of the Flies are from England, to quote Jack, in chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain... "After all, we're not savages. We're English; and the English are best at everything."
The mountain is mentioned in Lord of the Flies at various points throughout the novel. It is primarily associated with the signal fire that the boys try to maintain in order to signal passing ships for rescue. The mountain also becomes a symbolic focal point for the boys' struggle to maintain order and civilization on the island.
Piggy was the last boy to reach the top of the mountain.
All of the boys climb the mountain and build a huge fire.
Ralph said that a ship could see the smoke from up there and rescue them.
In "Lord of the Flies," the wind carries a dead parachutist to the top of the mountain. This event triggers fear and paranoia among the boys as they mistake the parachutist for a beast.
Lord of the Flies documents the progression of "innocent" boys into savagery.

On the Island
Simon suggests that they should go up the mountain and face the beast, but the other boys do not agree with him in Chapter 5 of "Lord of the Flies". Simon's suggestion highlights his bravery and willingness to confront their fears, which contrasts with the other boys' reluctance and cowardice.
