"they ate most of the day..."
The person who suffered the most was Piggy.
Simon's encounter with the lord of the flies is one of the most important events in the book. Simon's meeting with Lord of the Flies is a foreshadow into his own death, Simon looks into the vast darkness in Lord of the flies and later dies after his meeting with lord of the flies. The meeting also reveals to Simon that the fear of the lord of the flies or the "beasties" is truly within themselves.Simon is an epileptic and during an epileptic fugue he has an internalised conversation with the evil which he knows dwells within us all. He mentally projects this inner beast onto the pig's head on a stick which Jack has left as an offering for the imagined beast.
Golding uses pathetic fallacy rather heavily in 'Lord of the Flies', and, as such, the weather often depends on the vents which are unfolding in the narrative. However, most of the time the weather is typical of a tropical island, and the descriptions often focus on the "overwhelming heat".
