In "Lord of the Flies," the boys' reactions to Simon's death vary. Some are caught up in the frenzy of the moment and participate in the violent act, while others are horrified and disturbed by what has transpired. There is a sense of disbelief and guilt among some of the boys, showing the conflict between their survival instincts and their moral compass.

How does jack's reaction to Simon's death differ from the reaction of the followers?

Jack convinces the boys (and arguably himself) that it was the beast they killed, which was their first reaction upon seeing Simon due to mob mentality. Even though Ralph and Piggy admit to each other they knew it was Simon, Jack perpetuates the myth of the beast on his side of the island. This is arguably because in keeping fear of the unknown alive on the island, Jack is better able to lead in a totalitarian-like way. He convinces the boys that even though that night they thought they had killed the beast, that they actually hadn't - that they actually couldn't - and he suggests leaving sacrifices for it instead.

In Lord of the Flies why is Simon killed?

Simon is killed at the end of chapter 9. The boys are having a reenactment of the pig hunt when Simon, who is delirious and hallucinating, crawls into the ring of boys. The boys first think he is the beast and start killing him. When they realize it is Simon and not the beast, they are to caught up and excited to stop.
