The FLIES are a representation of the evil and decay that exists in all humanity. Flies live on death, the flies do not care who of what you were, their job is to clean up the mess left behind. The flies also represent the boys, who are drawn to the evil that Jack represents just as the real flies are draw to the pig's head on the stick, which was an offering to the beast.
