What page in Lord of the Flies do Piggy's glasses break?
Ah, the moment when Piggy's glasses break in "Lord of the Flies" is a powerful one. It happens on page 180 in the novel, symbolizing the loss of reason and civilization on the island. But remember, even in moments of darkness, there is always a glimmer of hope and resilience shining through.
How is Piggy different from Ralph?
Ralph admires piggy because piggy has a clear sense of things. He doesn't think about the negatives. And he doesn't think things that will get him scared. He states the truth and lives with it. that is what makes him who he is.
How does jacks attack on piggy and the breaking of one of the lenses in his spectacles symbolize the degeneration of the group?
Jack's attack on Piggy and the breaking of one of the lenses in his spectacles symbolize the degeneration of the group because at one time the group was whole and all together and then they started to break away from the big group just like Piggy's glasses once were one full piece of glass and then they got broken apart.
Why are flies such an appropriate metaphor in Lord of the Flies?
In the book, the kids refer to the littluns as insects. Piggy even says that he couldn't remember all their names because there were SO many. Thus, they are considered to be like swarming flies. Too many to count, and insect-like. That is one reason why the book is called Lord of the Flies. The other reason is that from time immemorial, one of the many names for Satan has been "The Lord of the Flies". The older boys (excluding Piggy) are the Lords of the Flies. The protagonist, Ralph, is THE Lord of the Flies. Satan is the embodiment of all that is evil. This is eventually what the boys become as time goes on - truly evil.
Who dies in lord of the flies-?
Simon was beaten to death when he was mistaken for the 'beast.' Piggy was killed when he was knocked from the causeway by a boulder and the littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face disappeared after the first fire got out of control, presumably killed by the fire or by smoke. Ralph also stabbed at least two of Jack's hunters with his spear so they may also have been killed or badly injured.
