'Explore The Character and symbolic significance of Simon Essay\r'

' afterwards the residue of the Second World War, novelists had fighting meter writing on blushts that had good happened. It made a lot of writers think deeply ab discover world and themselves. One of these writers was William Golding who Lieutenant in command of a rocket ship; his first novel was an any(prenominal)egory called â€Å"Lord Of The Flies” published in 1954 it asks the read/write head up is valet de chambreity all evil/self-destructive.\r\nThrough out the book mankind is portrayed in a very pessimistic way. The characters in the novel speculate a particular part of humanity diddlyshit reflects dictatorship and he creates a division mingled with the group of infantren, very cleverly he becomes the loss leader of a ‘tribe’ of animalistic savages that remind the lector of early man in its time. The ‘Littleuns’ symbolises the vulnerable in society, Simon, on the early(a)wise hand, is their ‘saviour’ he picks th e ‘Littleuns’ growth from the trees, which they heapnot reach. He even outs the spiritual aspect of humanity.\r\nSimon as a character is a caring and compassionate peasant who has not a bad intention in his mind. He is not govern by the controvert human traits that influence our day to day reactions; human traits such as aggression or nauseate red even to the children that treat him badly, he treats all the children equal and helps them when ever it is need. An archetype is when he helps the ‘littleuns’,\r\n‘Simon bring for them the fruit they could not reach,…, passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands’.\r\nSimon or though his caring and compassion, he is quiet inarticulate, this is his scarcely weakness, he fetchs it extremely problematical to communicate with the other children, this has an extremely bad resultant role on his ability to swop the events on the island. Although his wisdom he never mangers to show the others how he could change the mistakes they make. He is sensually weak and doesn’t actually take part in the greatly physical activities. At the beginning of the novel, as they all see to it at the platform, you find out that he has fits, so he is epileptic or has a hindrance similar to that. He sometimes tries to interact with the other children but he feels the pressured of personality, on his views on the island and the beast, an example is when he says the wrong thing.\r\nâ€Å"What’s the dirtiest thing at that place is?”\r\nâ€Å"Simon. He helps”… â€Å"Simon’s always al most(prenominal)”\r\nThis ac recogniseledgment describes how Simon consists in peace with the island and all the children on it. Simon is the only one with unreal view and the beast he is genuinely unlike to all the others. besides he appease mangers to live in peace with everyone, even ‘Jack’ he mangers to get on with, on that po int not friends as such, but the wear out’t really bother each other. Does with show that the other children can see that’s he is different and is some who respected because of this?\r\nOr though Simon does live in peace with all the others he is still treated and considered as an outsider by them all this is one of the unfortunate affects of being different, no head how wise or intuitive you are. This is so easy sensed in the quote, when jack and Ralph go to find Simon.\r\n” He’s queer. He funny”\r\nThey don’t not like him they just exculpate that Simon is total Different to them selves. The one thing about how the children see Simon is that it changes though the novel and by the end, most of the children, not all of them but a ratio of them, respect him and are quite fond of him.\r\nSimon, you can tell is instantly different to the rest of the boys, his perfectly wise view on the beast and island. But William Golding in this novel made him more than just a mere boy he represent intuitive thought, this is to say that he get his noesis from nowhere really he just know it’s, When he is talking about the beast existents\r\nâ€Å"What I mean….maybe its only us”\r\nNo child really think that way, William Golding is making it so that he symbolises\r\nIntuitive thought but it doesn’t end there. At one time as he goes to prove the beasts inexistent, it reach’s it climax when he meets an ‘the lord of the wing”, he has an encounter with the pigs head on a stick, the creature is crawling with flies hence calling it ‘the lord of the flies’.\r\nâ€Å" realise thinking the beast was something you could hunt and kill!”… â€Å"You knew, didn’t you? I’m a part of you?”\r\n'
