About the main characters

Main characters of this story is Larph, Jack, Piggy and Simon.
Larph, he is a boy with fairy hair. He has desposition to be a leader and have enough capapbilty to lead the children in right and ideal way. But he is not calm and persisten enough to fight against Jack's resistance. Compared to Jack he wants more peacful, fair and ideal life. And in contrast, he symblos a man with value of civilization, which also means virtue.
Another leader in this story, Jack is different with Larph. He is always related with shadows and darkness. He dreams of being dictator, and he is in the island. He symblos moral infamy, wants firm liberty from civilization, entesion of power. But he doesn't have any concern or insterest in leading children.
Larph's helper, Piggy is very fat weat glasses, and has asthma. He has wick body and most of the chidren ignores him. But he is very wise and Larph's brain. He symbols actualism. He tries to slove problems betweens the two group, but later he killed by Jack's people.
Lastly, Simon. He is the only one who tries to face people with virtue. When every one was devoted with their own instinction, he was treats people with the norm of value which he learned form the ideal, and educated humanity. Also, he thinks if norm, value and education of ideal world are usless in that place.
Personally, I like Simon. When the children first came to the island, that place was very beautiful, and calm. We can also think this place as the land God first gave us. The place is full of nature and beautiful, but by humankinds, this place is turning to dreadful and evil place. But Simon is the only one who tried to keep his virtue in that situation. Sadly, he murdered by his friends. It gave me these thoughts: Is vice stonger than virtue? Can vice damage and kill vice? The thing happening is the island is maybe also happening in this world. Puching and killing each other, tries to escape from ideal land, tempted to vice, hates virtue.

I agree on how you think about the characters. I like the comments about Ralph, Simon,
And Jack, But I think piggy has more hidden abilities that you didn’t notice such as caring and being helpful.
