RafaThe first instance of frightened boy talking to the assembly occurs in chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain. The littlun with the mulberry coloured birthmark on his face has his words relayed by Piggy and tells of seeing a snake-thing the previous night. The littlun asks what they are going to do about the snake-thing and asks if it will return again. Later in the book another frightened littlun, by the name of Percival Wemys Madison, also has his words about the beast relayed by Piggy and by Jack. Percival reveals to the assembled boys that the 'beast' comes from the sea.
The easy answer is that the boys are most afraid of 'the beast.' However some of the boys never believed in the existence of the beast and yet they still have fears. Piggy was most afraid of Jack and what Jack would do to him. Simon and Ralph were both afraid of what the boys themselves were capable of. Ralph was also afraid that the boys were becoming so savage that all rules and order were being ignored and as a result his greatest fear of all, not ever being rescued, was becoming increasingly more likely.
In the book, the boys are afraid of the beast, which is the unknown to them. They have no idea what the beast looks like, where it is hiding, what it can do, and even if it exists. Yet, the fear goes farther than just the beast. Ralph is afraid of what is and will happen to the boys which is unknown to him. Yet, what he doesn't realize is that the boys' change occurs because of the beast within each and everyone of them (the id).
The boys are scared of the beast that they believe live on the top of the mountain. Simon discovers though, that the beast lives inside of them all, when he is "talking" to the lord of the flies. He also discovers that what the boys believe is the beast, is in reality a dead man in a parachute. He never gets a chance to tell the other boys this, before they kill him.
The Beast, (a young boy claims to have seen it one night-most probably a dream or something, but the kids-especially Jack, continue to keep this idea of a beast very much reality claiming it does exist)
