What does the lord of the flies (the actual pig head) symbolize?

a) the strength of friendship

b) the evil within ourselves

c) the power of the group mentality

d) safety and home

Jack and the other hunters kill a pig and put his head on a spike. This dead pig was meant to be the dead “Lord of the Flies” beast that they were afraid of. However, the Lord of the Flies says to Simon that he is ignorant for thinking the “beast” is something that they could kill. He says, “You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you?” Simon knows the actual pig head isn’t killing the beast because the fear they have for a “beast” isn’t a physical manifestation, it represents our fear of the evil within ourselves.

In "The Lord of the Flies" the actual pig head symbolizes:

B) The evil within ourselves

Explanation:
