Who are the characters in 'Lord of the Flies'?

Answer 1

One View:

This is debatable. In my opinion, the main characters are Ralph, Piggy, Jack, and Simon.

Another View:

Ralph - The initial leader of the group; he represents civilization and Law and Order.

Piggy - The intellectual boy, always thinking logically and pointing out the obvious to the other boys.

Jack Merridew - The oldest boy and original leader of the choir; he forms his choir into the hunters, splits off his own group, and succumbs to savagery.

Simon - The sensitive boy; he represents goodness and self-sacrifice for the benefit of the group.

Samneric (Sam and Eric) - The twins; early on, they represent adherence to order and civilization, but eventually cave in to Jack's influence.

Roger - Initially the quite and furtive boy; later, he is revealed to be sadistic and cruel, and acts as Jack's lieutenant.
