The Lord of the Flies itself to Simon
In "Lord of the Flies," darkness symbolizes the descent into savagery and the loss of civilization and order. It represents the characters' inner darkness and the growing fear and violence on the island. Darkness also conveys the theme of the loss of innocence and the presence of evil within human nature.
Simon is the boy in Lord of the Flies who has the spiritual encounter with the "Lord of the Flies". Simon has an epileptic fugue and holds an imaginary internalised converstion with the Lord of the Flies, which is simply a projection of the evil within himself.

In "The Lord of the Flies," Simon is a character who represents goodness, spirituality, and enlightenment. He has a mystical connection to the island and possesses a deeper understanding of the darkness within the boys. The Lord of the Flies, personifying the evil and savagery within the boys, confronts Simon in a hallucination, revealing the inherent darkness that exists in all of them.
This phrase likely refers to the symbolism in William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies," where the character of the "lord of the flies" represents the darkness and evil within humanity. The devil being referred to as the lord over the flies could suggest a similar idea of evil having power over corrupted or base aspects of human nature.
