What does the Simon's death symbolize?
Simon's death in Lord of the Flies symbolizes the supremacy of evilness and bestly instincts in men . In Golding's point of view, evilness was the only characteristic men really had and was spread among them, whereas Simon posesses a innate goodness.Moreover, He's one of the most important and positive characters depicted in the novel, whose high sense of morality turns him into Jesus, the one who died in order to save humans.The similarities between the two are several.Just as Jesus had to face the devil in the desert, Simon talks to the sow's head, having a forecast of his death;even discovering the truth, he dies before he can reveal it, kicked and bited, in great pain, like Jesus on the cross. The fact a storm is approaching is an anticipation of what's going to happen and the wave which drifts his body apert from the island underlines his difference from others.
How does Piggy view himself in Lord of the flies?
All of the boys where sitting next to the fire at night with lightning and the darkness surrounding them. When Simon reveals himself, they all contribute in murdering him, because they think that it is the beast.

Ralph and Piggy do not accumulate with the truth, that they have become savage and had killed another person. Therefore resulting in the denial of both characters that it is their fault, and it is Simon's fault to present himself the way he did.
