Does Simon believe Sam and Eric story Lord of the flies?

Simon does not believe Sam and Eric's story about the "beast" being a physical threat. He understands that the beast is a manifestation of the boys' fear and inner darkness, rather than an external monster. Simon tries to convey this understanding to the group, but is ultimately killed before he can do so.


Chapter 7Why does Simon set off by himself in lord of the flies?

Simon is rational enough not to believe in a "monster" he therefore decides to find out what "the beast" actually is. Eventually he realises that "the beast" is not a monster or an animal but a primal force within each and everyone of us. I think the story also points to the fact that Simon is a suffer of epilepsy and I think that at this point in the story he is aware that he is about to have an attack and seeks a place to be alone.


What is Simon saying when he thinks the beast may be inside the boys themselves?

When Simon suggested that, and I quote... "Maybe.... maybe, there is a beast." The assembly 'cried out savagely.' When Ralph asked in shock and amazement "You, Simon? You believe in this?" Simon replied "I don't know..." Then a storm of protests erupted from the boys, shouts included; "Sit down! Shut up!" And "Sod You!" When Simon clarified his statement by saying "What I mean is... maybe it's only us." Piggy was so shocked that he shouted, "Nuts!"

What is Simon's opinion of the beast inhabiting the island?

Having just read the book I don't think that Simon was ever "continually" reminded of anything. I think you might be refering to one particular passage in chapter 6, which I'll quote directly.... Simon, walking in front of Ralph, felt a flicker of incredulity --a beast with claws that scratched, that sat on a mountain-top, that left no tracks and yet was not fast enough to catch Samneric. However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick.
