"The lord of the flies" is an English translation of the Hebrew word "Beelzebub", which is another word for devil. The Lord of the Flies is also a symbol of corruption and decay. (The pig's head is in decay throughout the book, and at the end only the skull is left).

"Lord of the Flies" is scary because it explores the dark side of human nature and the potential for violence and savagery within us. The breakdown of society and the descent into chaos on the island reflect the fragility of civilization and the inherent struggle between morality and the desire for power. The novel's portrayal of the boys' descent into barbarism is unsettling and thought-provoking, making it a chilling exploration of human behavior.

∙ 13y agoThe book "Lord of the Flies" is largely about how the conflicts on the island are only intensified by the controversy over whether or not the "beast" exists. The specific "Lord of the Flies" is the sow's (pig's) head which has been impaled by a stick that was stuck into the ground. The blood has attracted flies to the severed head. The "Lord of the Flies" tells Simon that the beast is not something physical that can be killed, but the savagery and evil within all human hearts.
