In "Lord of the Flies," the boys' reactions to Simon's death vary. Some are caught up in the frenzy of the moment and participate in the violent act, while others are horrified and disturbed by what has transpired. There is a sense of disbelief and guilt among some of the boys, showing the conflict between their survival instincts and their moral compass.

Simon and Piggy
Jack convinces the boys (and arguably himself) that it was the beast they killed, which was their first reaction upon seeing Simon due to mob mentality. Even though Ralph and Piggy admit to each other they knew it was Simon, Jack perpetuates the myth of the beast on his side of the island. This is arguably because in keeping fear of the unknown alive on the island, Jack is better able to lead in a totalitarian-like way. He convinces the boys that even though that night they thought they had killed the beast, that they actually hadn't - that they actually couldn't - and he suggests leaving sacrifices for it instead.
In Lord of the Flies, Piggy and Simon are tragically killed. Simon is stabbed to death by the boys and Piggy is sadly hit by a massive rock:(
Simon is mistaken for the beast by the other boys during a chaotic nighttime ritual. In their frenzied state, they lose control and beat him to death before realizing their mistake. The violent and irrational behavior of the boys reflects the breakdown of order and morality on the island.
Simon was killed first during the celebration, and then Piggy at Castle Rock.
