Jack instructs the boys... "He came --- disguised. He may come again even though we gave him the head of our kill to eat. So watch; and be careful." When Stanley raises the question of whether they had or hadn't already killed the beast Jack replies... "No! How could we -- kill -- it?" So by inference Jack has endowed the "beast" with the powers to both transform its appearance and also to be invulnerable.

What is the difference in the way the two camps deal with Simon's death in lord in the flies?

At castle rock, Jack's camp, they saw simons death a whole different way than the other camp. They thought that simon in fact was the beast and the beast can change forms. Ralph's side thought it was murder, because that is a civilized thought, used in court cases. Ralph's side had a civilized way of thinking about it and Jack had a savage way of thinking about it to justify why he killed him.


Simons death in Lord of the Flies?

Yes he was. He had just found out that the beast lives within and was going to tell all the boys. But the boys were having a feast and partying. When he comes out of the jungle, the boys think he is the beast and stab him to death, everyone takes part. The next day everyone realizes it is Simon; yet no one will admit it was. :)

In lord of the flies Why does Jack deny that the beast is dead?

Jack needs the power of the beast in a couple of ways: as a common enemy for the boys to unite them; as a way to gain respect and to manipulate others as well as to satisfy his hunger for power; and as an excuse for hunting perhaps. Jack sort of became the spokesperson in the previous few chapters. He give offerings to it, tell others to leave it alone on 'the other side'. He is trying to make it more real for the others. Jack himself does not believe in the physical beast but is closer to the true beast- the capacity for evil in everyone, then everyone, even Simon. He is not afraid of it, as no one would use things they are uncertain or afraid of. if the beast is dead, he will loose power. Therefore even though he consciously recognize the murder of Simon though he hides it from the others. No one could stop him from using the beast now that Simon has died. He could make the beast immortal.
