When Ralph, Jack and most of the other biguns were hunting for the beast in chapter 7 Simon offered to run through the jungle, alone, to tell Piggy and the littluns that the rest of the boys were heading for the mountain top and would be late returning to the shelters.
Simon is a very symbolic part of Lord of the Flies. His gentleness throughout the novel, and the fact that he never strays from this, shows that he, possibly alone among the boys, gets his goodness from within, it is not just conditioned by society. His illness links to old fasion viws that people with disorders such as his have mystical qualities. It is also Simon that gives us an insight into the evil of the island via his interaction with "the lord of the flies". His death is also symbolic- as he died trying to tell the other boys the truth about the parachutist- in a way making him a martyr. The fact that if the boys had listened to him they would not have to be afraid of the beast also adds a sense of irony to the novel.
