The beast in "Lord of the Flies" represents the boys' primal nature and their fears, symbolizing the darkness and evil within each individual. It also symbolizes the power of fear and how it can manipulate and control people. The snake-thing in particular can be seen as a manifestation of their collective fear and descent into savagery.
