Golding presents Piggy as a true wise friend by showcasing his intelligence, rationality, and capacity for critical thinking. Despite being physically weak and marginalized by the other boys, Piggy consistently offers sensible advice and insights that are often unheeded but ultimately prove to be valuable in their survival on the island. He serves as a voice of reason and represents the importance of intellect and logic in the face of chaos and savagery.

Who says I know there isn't no beast at least not with claws or anything i mean i know there isn't no fear either unless you are afraid of people phrase in the lord of the flies?

This phrase is spoken by Piggy in William Golding's "Lord of the Flies." Piggy uses this line to emphasize his belief that the true source of fear and danger on the island is the boys themselves, rather than any external threat. He points out that the real fear lies in the behavior of people, highlighting the darkness that can reside within human nature.


What is the most important thing to be conveyed to all?

I have copied and pasted a section of someone elses answer to another question in this catagorie which I think answers your query... Perhaps he (Golding) meant us to realise that there are no gods, devils or beasts. There is just ourselves and the darkness within us and we can't or shouldn't blame imagined supernatural forces for the evil which we do all by ourselves. Did not Ralph weep for the death of his one true friend, Piggy, and the darkness within men's hearts?


Why does piggy confess that piggy has been his hated name all along in lord of the flies?

Piggy confesses this because he wants to show his true self and be seen as more than just a nickname. By revealing his true feelings, Piggy is trying to gain respect and assert his identity among the other boys on the island. He wants to be taken seriously and valued for who he truly is.
