As Simons waits for the beasts arrivalnear the bloody sows head on the stake (buzzing with flies), The Lordof the move speaks to him, warning him not to get in its way or elsehe shall be killed by the boys. The Lord of the Flies name comes fromthe sows head and the countless flies buzzing ab step up it, which in briefmove from the sows head to swarm around the head of Simon as the Lordof the Flies tells him, Im a part of you. In biblical texts, theLord of the Flies is the title of Beelzebub (a direct translation ofhis name), a demon of Hell. thither is a clear distinction between thisbook and The Coral Island. in that respect is no separation between boys andsavages, good and evil, Christianity and cannibalism, British andsavages in this book, where as in the Coral island this distinctioncom es out many times.Jack is the novels original representative of the instincts ofsavagery, violence, and the desire for power, which is shown from thebeginning.
