Lord of the Flies
Chapter - A View to a Death
"The end of reason, bye Simon"
"The end of reason, bye Simon"
Perspective: Me!
In chapter 9 the butterflies have fled Simons' heaven. It's become a place of death and rot, now that it's home to the Lord of the Flies. The flies prefer the guts and gore of the dead sow, even though Simon had a popped vessel in his nose. They let him be when Simon decides to go to the top of the mountain. So when he reached the aviator and untangled the lines from the tree, he is mostly unmolested. But that doesn't mean that Simon is untroubled, he can't walk with a strong step, and that is seriously dragging him down.
Back at the beach Jack and Piggy, were invited to a party. But the hunger is too much for Piggy and he suggests they both go. After the suggestion is made Ralph can't help himself, he decides to go the party. Still, while he is okay with him joining the others, the others are more unsettled. The party turns akward the moment they arrive, and it isn't untill Piggy is burned that the whole group unites under his pain. Still one person wasn't satisfied. Jack was convinced that Ralph and Piggy owed him something, that they owed him the meat and protection that he was offering them, that doing that for them made him their cheif. He tells them that he will no longer acknoledge Ralph as his cheif, that the conch cannot reach his side of the island.
That brings the rain, the clouds show the darkness that the party has drifted into. They form their chant, Kill the Beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood! When Simon finally reaches the boys he is so tired, he can only crawl. He shares his secret with the boys, screaming as loud as he possibly can, but there is no reason or understanding in the boys eyes as they tear him with teeth and claws.
But in the end it's only one persons fault that Simon is dead, that person is Jack. He started his new tribe where he said, "Who'll join my tribe and have fun?" Some fun it turned out to be, his tribe of killers, but that's not all, maybe having a separate tribe wouldn't have been too bad. But Jack started the chant, "Do our dance! Come on! Dance!" Jack used the chaos that he knew he could bring out of them to distract them from his flaws, she was selfish, and brought the savagness out faster than could ever have been done before, he did it on purpose, Jack made them savage.
