Ralph.
When the signal fire goes out
Jack and his tribe of hunters were responsible for moving the fire in "Lord of the Flies" as they prioritized hunting and their own desires over maintaining the signal fire for rescue.
The signal fire that Ralph builds on top of the mountain is heavily disregarded by readers. The signal fire that in the end saves them all is accidently made by Jack who sets the whole forest on fire.
Piggy finds the spectacles in Lord of the Flies. He uses them to start the signal fire and later relies on them to see clearly.
In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, the responsibility of maintaining the first signal fire falls on the character named Jack. He is one of the main antagonists in the novel and takes charge of the hunters group on the island.
The signal fire went out when Jack made Samneric leave the fire duty to go hunting. It also goes out when Samneric "see the beast".
Piggy was the one who suggested moving the fire to the beach in "Lord of the Flies." He believed that keeping a signal fire burning on the beach was crucial for attracting passing ships that could rescue them.
In "Lord of the Flies," the fire symbolizes hope and rescue. It is initially a signal fire that represents the boys' desire to be rescued from the island. However, as the boys become more savage and lose sight of their goal, the fire also symbolizes destruction and chaos.
The signal fire thus functions as a kind of measurement of the strength of the civilized instinct remaining on the island.
