There are many different symbolic images inThe Lord of the Flies, but the Lord of the Flies is a symbol himself. Towards the end of the novel when the Lord of the Flies speaks to Simon, is when his true symbolism comes out; the Lord becomes an indication of any type of beast and also a symbol of the power of evil. You could even take this answer as far as saying the Lord of the Flies symbolizes the devil whereas throughout the story, Simon portrays Jesus Christ (Biblical parallelism).Beelzebub, or a satanic/demonic representaion

The flies on the spilled guts of the pig, which had been left as an offering for the beast along with the pig's head.
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.

In chapter 5 of "Lord of the Flies," the boys ignore the rule of following the conch shell as a symbol of authority and order. They also disregard Piggy's suggestion to prioritize building shelters over focusing solely on hunting and playing. Additionally, there is a general breakdown in communication and respect among the boys, leading to further disintegration of their society.
The two reasons why the littleuns obey the call of the conch in "Lord of the Flies" are that it represents order and authority for them, and they have been conditioned to follow rules from their upbringing in society.
Golding, the author, refers to a dead pig's head which has been stuck on a spike as the symbolic "Lord of the Flies." It also represents the evil in everyone.
Over 30 million copies of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding have been published worldwide since its original publication in 1954.
