Simon suspects that the beast the boys fear is actually their own inner darkness and capacity for evil. While the others don't grasp this concept and believe the beast is a physical entity, Simon realizes that it is a symbol of the darkness within themselves.
they think he is 'batty' and 'cracked'. They don't understand the superior knowledge of Simon
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.
How is Simon from lord of the flies?
That they killed Piggy and Simon with their bare hands
Cause he gave up
It's where Simon finds the dead parachutist, the others roast a pig. Jack is painted like a savage and treating the others like slaves. Jack tries to get Ralphs followers to join his tribe. Simon reappears and they think he's the beast and rip him apart.
Simon is a symbol of a prophet.
In Chapter 3 of "Lord of the Flies," Simon's character is shown to be quiet, introspective, and compassionate. He shows concern for the littluns and tries to alleviate their fears by telling them that they will be rescued. Simon's actions reveal his empathy and sensitivity towards others, setting him apart from the other boys on the island.
No one ever found out about what the beast really was from Simon because they had accidentally beaten him to death before Simon could actually tell them anything.
Simon represents Jesus Christ
Simon's greatest strengths in "Lord of the Flies" are his compassion, sensitivity, and ability to see beyond the surface of situations and people. He demonstrates a deep understanding of human nature and a willingness to help others, making him a source of wisdom and guidance for the other boys on the island.
he doesn't necessarily pertain bravery but when he finds out the truth about the LORD OF THE FLIES and that the monster is really inside themselves (fear, the other savage boys) then he flees to tell truth to the boys. that in itself could show the ugly truth and how Simon was brave to even think about mentioning it and results in being killd.
