What does the conch symbolise?

Answer 1

The conch started out simply as a curiosity that Ralph spotted in the lagoon. Once it was retrieved from the water it became a tool, used to call the other boys to the location. During the first meeting Ralph indicated that the conch had the additional purpose of allowing its holder to speak uninterrupted by anyone else except himself. Because the conch called boys to meetings and was then used during the process of the meeting it became indelibly associated with the whole democratic process, whereby anyboy could speak, if he held the conch. The conch therefore came to symbolise the whole process which it was part of, the democratic ideal of the meetings, civilization, rule, Law and Order.
