In 'Lord of the Flies,' Golding creates a Christ-like figure of Simon as a metaphor for innocence and sacrifice. Like Christ he is prophetic, attempts to lead his flocks to truth and spiritual clarity, and loses his life as a result. The Hunters, who represent the primitive savagery of human nature, kill him when he attempts to tell them the truth about 'the Beast.'
What else can I help you with?
Ralph says of Simon ''he's queer. he's funny.'' what kind of boy is Simon?
Ralph says this maybe for sake of conversation, but Simon is in many ways diffrent from most of the boys. Though all of the boys on the island seem to like Simon he stays away and goes to his secret bower in the forest to be alone and have his epeleptic fits. Simon is supposed to be the christ figure in the novel because he is kind to all the boys, stands up for piggy, and even has a conversation with the Lord of the Flies (the devil) in the jungle just as Jesus did. Simon has very bright eyes and coarse black hair. He is the bravest of all of them.

What does William Golding say about the dark side of human nature?
Golding seems to suggest that the darkness in mens' hearts is endemic and that all men suffer from it. Most of the boys in Jack's tribe aren't conciously evil yet they partake in activities which they know to be wrong and follow a leader who they don't even like. They are like sheep led by a figurehead wolf puppet called Jack, who is in turn manipulated by the real evil, Roger. However Golding also suggests that some people, such as Simon and Ralph are aware of the evil within and successfully fight against it. Jack falls victim to his own inner demon mainly through ignorance and by giving in to personal desire. Roger, on the other hand, recognise the evil within and welcomes it with open arms.
