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. During the killing, they all realize that it is Simon and not the beast that the boys are killing.

What is the point of view of Lord of the Flies?
Lord of the Flies is narrated from a third person viewpioint.
What are examples of point of view in Lord of the Flies?
Lord of the Flies is in 3rd person limited point of view. For example, during the scene where Simon is talking to the pig head carcass, the "Lord of the Flies", you never see inside the head of Simon as he's having his seizure, such as when he lifts his head up. Nor could you see the emotion of different characters at different situations; you could only see dialogue.
How do the others view Simon in lord of the flies?
they think he is 'batty' and 'cracked'. They don't understand the superior knowledge of Simon
Why is piggy bullied in Lord of the Flies?
In the Lord of the Flies, Piggy is treated like trash... by everyone. He is teased because of his overweight appearance, and is (dare I say) the most civil child of all of them. Piggy puts up with it most of the time, except for the few instances when he defends himself. He ends up dying because of a trap involving a wooden log hurling him to his death. Ralph (the protagonist) remembers him fondly, although he was one of the worst offenders (along with Jack) to Piggy. Sources: I've read the novel. :)
What are Piggy's leadership qualities in Lord of the Flies?
Piggy has no leadership qualities, which is why he wasn't even considered as a possible leader during the election. He is apparently reasonably intelligent but to offset this he has an inflated opinion of his own intelligence and isn't prepared to accept that other people might have a clearer understanding of something than he has. Piggy is also fat, asthmatic and wears thick glasses, he is lazy and tries to avoid anything which involves physical exertion. Piggy talks like an adult, which only serves to alienate him from most of the other boys, who view him as pompous, fat and an oddball. None of these are qualities that recommend him to the other boys as a leader.
