Piggy
In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, Piggy is the first to suggest that they don't need the conch anymore. He argues that the conch has lost its power and influence over the boys.
Ralph represents the leadership and authority associated with the conch, using it to maintain order and call meetings. Piggy, on the other hand, provides intellectual support by advising Ralph on how to use the conch effectively and reminding him of its importance. Together, they form a balanced partnership that combines physical and intellectual strengths in managing the group.
The conch in "Lord of the Flies" breaks when Piggy is killed by Roger, who pushes a large rock that strikes Piggy and shatters the conch. This moment symbolizes the loss of order and civilization on the island.
