The clearing doesn't really symbolize anything much. It is more what actually happens at the clearing that has meaning. At first, they act in a very civilized manner, with the conch showing who has the rights of speaking and acting. But later, they start to get worse and become uncivilized barbarians. I can't quit answer your question though, because Lord of the Flies is one of those books that nobody can quite have the same opinions on what things do symbolize. but think about what I've said, and hopefully I at least helped you answer your question.
