Samneric are described as "otherness" in the book "Lord of the Flies" because they are a pair of twins who are seen as part of a collective, rather than individuals. They are often grouped together and not distinguished as separate characters, which highlights their lack of individual identity in the society created by the boys on the island. Additionally, their close bond and shared experiences make them stand out as a unit rather than as individuals.
