Why does simon go to his bower in chapter 3 of lord of the flies?

Answer 1

Probably partially because he takes pity of the poor corpse which is being made to perform like a puppet, purely as an act of chance. This stops it from sitting up and behaving as if it were alive. Simon also intends to tell the other boys that it isn't a beast, just a dead body, and he knows that the lack of movement will stop the boys being scared and running away before they see that he is telling the truth. By coincidence untangling the parachute lines also allows the wind to carry the corpse away from the mountain top.

Answer 2

In "The Lord of Flies", whenever Simon is disturbed by what he sees, he goes into his bower away from all. This gives him solitude and allows him to step back from the environment he finds so stressful, and stay apart from those who are descending into savagery.

Answer 3

I am assuming that you are asking why is it import for Simon that he slips away from beach and the boys who are there. I think that there is evidence in the book that Simon suffers from epliepsy. Simon often faints and he is also a bit of a loner, who likes to think. I think that it is important for Simon to have a 'secret place' of his own where he can go if he feels the onset of an epileptic attack. After witnessing the total lack of any support or care for Percival Wemys Madison, when the littlun spent two days alone in a hut crying and talking to himself, Simon would rightly fear what might happen to himself if the likes of Roger came upon him while he having a fit.
