What does the boy with the mulberry colored birth mark symbolize?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, the boy with the mulberry colored birthmark symbolizes the complexities of human nature and the inherent darkness within all of us. It's like, a deep dive into the darker aspects of humanity, you know? So, like, he's basically a walking metaphor for the duality of good and evil within each of us.

Answer 2

After Ralph, Jack and Simon had returned from their exploration of the mountain they told the rest of the boys that they were indeed on an island, which was probably uninhabited. Ralph then suggested that in order to increase their chances of rescue they should light a signal fire on the top of the mountain. All of the boys then ran to the top of the mountain and built a huge fire. They gathered wood from a patch of trees and undergrowth partway down the mountain. Many of the little'uns quickly got bored and wandered off in search of fruit. Eventually the fire was lit and when the burning logs settled down they released a cloud of sparks. This causes several other fires to begin, many in the area of trees from which they had gathered wood. Piggy noticed that the boy with the mulberry coloured birthmark was nowhere to be seen and indeed he was never seen again. He was presumably burned to death by one of the out of control wild fires.

Answer 3

At the end of chapter two: Fire on the Mountain, when the fire has gone out of control Piggy is the first to notice that the small boy with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face is no where to be seen. Indeed he is never seen again, presumably killed by the fire.

Answer 4

The littlun with the birthmark on his face (and indeed the littluns as a whole): are the faceless people in society. Everybody knows that they are there but they are largely ignored and are very rarely ever taken into consideration. Nobody even asked the boy with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face what his name was and nobody ever knew for certain how many littluns there were. They are the underclass, unrepresented, undervalued and uncared for.

Answer 5

The boy with the mulberry mark disappears when Ralph is asking Jack and the others why they didnt stay and mind the fire. The boys climbs down the mountain and when the first fire burns part of the woods down, the boy is killed, as he was in that part of the woods.

The forest was on fire and he was assumed dead
