In "Lord of the Flies," Simon shares many of Jesus' qualities. He's in tune with the feelings of others. When Ralph is depressed, Simon assures him he will get back to civilization. Like Jesus, he is able to separate truth from fallacy and is the first to know the beast lies within the boys. The Pharisees believed Jesus to be a fraud, as do the boys with Simon, who they believe is "odd." Like Jesus, Simon is killed for his ideals.

John Proctor is not a Christ figure because he is deeply flawed and struggles with personal guilt, particularly regarding his infidelity, which contrasts with the moral perfection associated with Christ. Unlike Christ, who embodies selflessness and unwavering righteousness, Proctor's journey includes moments of weakness and moral ambiguity. Additionally, while Christ is a sacrificial figure who seeks redemption for all, Proctor's sacrifice ultimately serves to redeem himself and restore his own integrity rather than to save others.
Hi, Ballet Dancer, Leeyan Granger, now Ted Neeley's wife of 28 years can best be seen in the Simon Zealotes scene in Jesus Christ Superstar. There is the YouTube clip shared on YouTube by RicBNH, where he actually added an arrow above Leeyan's head and spelled out Leeyan Neeley. Just go on YouTube and search for Simon Zealotes scene and look for the one from RicBNH. Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and God Bless Us All!

John Simon is an American author and literary, theater, and film critic.
Simon's function is the inherent goodness in mankind. He is the Christ-figure of the novel.
Simon represents the inherent goodness in mankind. He is the Christ-figure of the novel.
Simon is often identified as a Christ like figure.
Simon represents the voice of reason, spirituality, and innate goodness in the novel. He is a symbol of purity and enlightenment, contrasting with the darkness and savagery that the other boys descend into on the island. Ultimately, Simon's fate highlights the destructive nature of human nature when left unchecked.
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.'
Many scholars and reviewers have described Simon as a 'Christ like' figure.
No, Simon is infact the Christ like figure in Lord of the Flies. He has the ability to "see the future" and is more quiet and solemn compared to the other boys. The boys think Simon is crazy becuase he is not like the rest of them.
Simon was a pure, good-hearted character who just wanted to help others. He was brave, and passionate. He was the "Christ Figure" in Lord of the Flies. But he was murdered.
Simon is different because he is the purest character on the island. As he represents a Christ figure. He also proves to be the smartest boy on the island (aside from Piggy) as he is the first and only boy to find and understand what The Beast and The Lord Of the Flies is. Although Ralph is a good character as well the 2 boys (ralph and simon) have 2 different personalities and different goodness within them. The difference between Jack and Simon, in simple, is Jack represnts the devil and voilence and Simon represents a pure Christ figure
Simon has often been compared to a Christ figuer because he often is the one working ans caring for the littums. In the book there is a very specific moment where he resembles Jesus, it is when some of the little boys are looking for food and cant reach it and Simon comes along and helps them. The reason he is compared to a Christ figure is because he is kind, and he helps, and also there is the moment in chapter seven where he tells Ralph, "you will get off the island," he never said "we" will, it was clearly you will.
Simon represents Jesus Christ
The central figure in Christianity, known as "the Christ," is Jesus Christ.
