What does the storm represent in Lord of the Flies?

Answer 1

Jack's response to the threatening thunderstorm is to instruct his tribe to, "Do our dance! Come on! Dance!" The dance gets increasingly frenzied as the boys chant "Kil the beast! Cut his thraot! Spil his blood!" The boys wrok themselves up to a peak of such intensity that something has to happen in order to release it. And, in the uncertain light of the fire and lightning flashes, Simon stumbles from the jungle and is mistaken for the beast.

Answer 2

Chapter two establishes that the boys are alone on a previously uninhabited island with no adults. The first signs of Ralph and Jack's differing objectives are revealed and the subject of the "snake-thing/beastie" is raised for the first time by a small boy with a mulberry-coloured birthmark. Ralph tells the boys that they should build a signal fire to attract passing ships and airplanes so that they can be rescued. Jack, who initially seemed only interested in hunting pigs, then leads the boys off to the mountain, already subtley challenging Ralph's leadership. At the end of chapter two the intended signal fire becomes an out of control inferno and the boy with the mulberry-coloured birthmark is never seen again. These events perhaps foreshadow the burning of the island in chapter 12 and the deaths of Simon and Piggy.

Answer 3

In "The Lord of Flies", the flashes of lightning from the thunderstorm allow Simon to see what they thought was the beast, is actually a downed paratrooper. He runs back to the encampment to tell the others, but they mistake him for the beast and beat him to death.

Answer 4
