In the fifth chapter, "Animals come from the water", the little boy Percy Dover said that "the beast comes from the ocean of the future", which is the subconscious mind of the beast. When the news came, none of the other children realized the seriousness of the problem except Simon, who was observant. First, the original sin of human knowledge was besieged by Simon's children. They didn't want to face the "shadow" in their hearts and tried to avoid it. Then unconsciously, there were more and more mistakes and the crisis approached step by step.
In the sixth chapter, "a signal came from the adult world. Although the children were asleep at that time, no one noticed a silhouette ... dangling limbs and falling rapidly." The body that fell on the top of the mountain became a "beast" that children were afraid of. This is a geographical limit to the influence of the plasma on them, and it is also a psychological threat to them, because it has set up a trap. Only Simon has some doubts. "No matter how Simon's personality is imagined, in his mind, there is always a picture of an ice melting man who is not only heroic."
The evil side of children's hearts is rapidly expanding in an unconstrained environment. They hunt wild boars in droves, and some even pretend to be "wild animals" to play hunting games. "Kill him! Kill him! " The children screamed and shouted, jumped wildly, clutched and struggled, and their voices became louder and louder, as if some ceremony was being held. Even Ralph couldn't help but "pinch the brown meat that was defenseless at this time and tightly buckle his desire to dominate and hurt everything."
At this time, the animal "shadow" at the bottom of their personality is vented through this ceremony. "Prey" to satisfy their bloodthirsty desire, and they became like "barbarians". From then on, these children no longer considered the possibility of hopeless. They devoted all their energy to hunting, and were keen on "killing wild boar, cutting its throat and making it bleed", which was partly the need for survival and partly the instinct of bloodthirsty animals, and was satisfied from bloody hunting activities.
Simon, eager to find out the truth, was exploring whether to enter the forest. On his way back, Jack met him. They planted pigs on the stake, and black flies were crawling all the time. This is "Lord of the flies"
Lord of the flies also predicted Simon's unfortunate ending: "Jack, Roger Morris, Robert, Bill, Piggy and Ralph will be your destiny."
Here, Simon realized very clearly that the real "beast" in people's minds is original sin and the concept of original sin. When he learned that the "beast" that had been above was actually the pilot's body, he insisted on going down the mountain to tell you the truth. But no one can hear what he is saying. He was killed as a wild animal in a primitive and barbaric martial arts. Everyone, including Ralph Madman, took part in the operation.
Simon's murder is the inevitable result of the vicious development of "shadow" in children's minds, which shows the destruction of moral conscience. In their view, snakes, water monsters, air monsters, and even the wild boar they are chasing have even become the eyes of the devil on Simon's project, and he is also regarded as an animal, so they will kill Simon without any scruples without any conscience. The depravity of human personality and the loss of independence made Saier withstand the most severe blow proved by the prophecy of "Beast".
Because the crime happened to others or the outside world, and it was their "sacred" mission and a "just" war, the evil heart quickly turned into violent action, among a group of teenagers struggling with suffering. Once the violence spreads, it will be uncontrollable, and the traffic should be "enough" to complete the whole absurd process. Soon, Sifangzai became a "victim" of piglets on the altar, and the same fate almost befell Ralph. If he was not saved in time, he would be stuck on a wooden stake like a wild boar.
