Simon and the Beast

Throughout this story Simon took a Christ figure. Simon was the only one who kept all of his humane qualities. Simon is like Christ, whether its making a prediction (Jesus was a prophet) or helping out the unfortunate (Piggy and the litluns).
The Beast took the figure of evil. Its not that the Beast was real, but everyone of the boys had a beast (evil) inside of them.

The meeting of Piggy and the Beast is similar to that of Jesus and the Devil. Jesus had been tempted by the devil many times yet Jesus had the will to resist. In this section, the Beast attempted to get Simon to give up hope and forget everything he believed in. "I'm warning you. I'm going to get angry. D'you see? You're not wanted. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island! So don't try it on, my poor misguided boy, or else--" This is just one of the few ways the Beast attempted to berate Simon. Like Jesus, Simon kept on his way. I assume that this will not be the only relation to the bible left in this book.
