a fat boy. Piggy is an unathletic, unhealthy and overweight boy who acts, thinks and talks in a manner which is different from that of the other boys. Perhaps his unpopularity at school (were he was originally called Piggy) and his poor health have lead to him reading and thinking a lot because his general knowledge and thought processes seem far more adult than those of the rest of the boys. All these things add together to make Piggy an outcast and a comic figure. Failing to understand him most of the other boys resort to ridicule and mockery.
