The Lord of the Flies is a symbol of Evil and it represents Satan in the novel. The Lord of the Flies, also known as "the Beastie" represents the inner evil inside everyone, in this case its the boys. The Beastie is mentioned throughout the novel, because the littluns think that there's a beast on the island. The older boys know that there is no such thing as a "beastie" an think that its there imagination, but in this case the beast is inside all of us, and we are all evil and cruel. Golding shows the evil in people, by showing us how the boys act on the island. Simon is the "good" character in the story, and he is he only one that isn't scared because he knows that they are all beasts themselves. Simon represents Jesus and the Lord of the Flies, or "Beastie" represents Satan. When Simon talks to the Beastie, the Beastie tells him that there is evil inside of everyone and he also promises Simon "fun". The beasties promise of "fun" was when Simon was killed. The narrator states that," [Simon saw] the picture of a human at once heroic and sick."(6.140), this means that when the boys were killing the pig, Simon didn't get involved, instead he saw the evil inside the boys.
