Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?
The main characters in this novel are Piggy, Ralph, Jack, and Simon. I like Ralph, Piggy, and Simon, because, in general, they were the only ones who weren’t deprived of reason. Piggy symbolized reason, or the better way the children could act. Ralph reminds us that we are not perfect, even when we try hard. Simon was brave, innocent, and smart, and he was able to find the truth about the beastie, that it wasn’t real. Simon was the wisdom that the children didn’t have. Jack, however, lost his reason to the beastie. His character shows us what we can become with darkness in our hearts.

Simon is involved quite often in the novel, but I don't think that he is one of the main character...
Wow you did a great job on explaining about the characters in the book "The Lord of the Flies." I enjoyed reading your post. Gave me a clear vision about the characters. I personally thought that Roger was one of the main characters too because his name was mentioned a lot.
