|
|
|
In Lord of the flies, Simon is first introduced as part of the choir and the boy who ‘faints’. ... The reader suspects from this that Simon may have some sort of physical weakness or illness. ... He is emphasizing Simon’s appearance in order to let us know that Simon is a boy to whom there is no need of physical strength and his true personality lies beyond that. ... Here we learn that Simon is special or different, he has a sense of spirituality and appreciation for nature extending beyond the understanding of the other boys. ...
Simon was not really accepted by the other boys but there was something that drew Ralph towards him when he selected Simon to come with him on the ‘expedition’ to explore the island. Simon and Ralph become friends from the start but they didn’t get too close in their relationship. This supports the idea that Simon is special and that he is not influenced by anyone else. ...
As the novel goes on Simon’s purpose starts to get clear, he is there, along with Piggy to put some sense into an otherwise irrational way of life on the island. ... He also helped to feed the littluns, when they were trying to reach the fruit Simon ‘pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands’.
