Simon stagged and stumbled out of the darkness of the forest into the midst of the ring of boys who were performning their 'pig killing' dance on the beach, after Jack's feast. The boys mistook him for the beast, in the flickering light of the fire and the flashes of lightening, and beat him to death.

Why is the action of the story increasingly taking place in the near darkness or in the deep night when only the moon and stars give a little light?
The book opens in bright sunshine and introduces a boy with fair hair who expresses his joy by standing on his head. As the innocence and joy of the boys is corrupted by negligence, violence and bloodshed the mood and locations of the book darkens. The vote in favour of a belief in ghost occurs in near darkness. The sighting of the body of the parachutist by Samneric and the sighting of the same body by Ralph, Roger and Jack also occurs in near darkness. The death of Simon also happens during the darkness of an evening storm. This move towards increasing darkness mirrors the actions of the boys which increasingly become prey to the darkness within themselves, to the beast within. The final hunting of Ralph occurs in daytime but under the darkness of a canopy of smoke, his rescue by the naval officer comes as he exits the smoke into the bright sunlight of the beach.
