That book confused the hell out of me, what did Simon do? I thought he was one of the only kids who did not lose his mind (well he did lose his mind otherwise he wouldn't talk to severed heads) but unlike the rest of them he never frenzied.

@LyriiczBoii NOT SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING! It's metaphors, paradoxs, and literature at the highest amount of complexity it can reach, it really is a unique book that allows you to see the multiple levels of thinking and structure of language and it's manipulation.

@MsExplosiveSocks Roger is the most evil, and demented, he is actually the brute and demon in the story, jack is just the one that brings it out of the others and allows the book to show the purpose of how evil mankind is without civilizaion holding it all inside, so then, who really is the leader? Of course if you read the book you would understand the true leader is roger and that he is the evil one who does the demented things and twists the plot to allow some very harsh actions to occur.

@fliptrick540 Also, in the book, Jack, Roger, and Bill apear in the pig's mouth to Simon. In Dante's inferno, the 3 betrayers are housed in the mouth of satan.

@LyriiczBoii T.T

The devil is not a physical entity, but that part of us that believes we can get away with anything without thinking of concequences. When Simon did what the pig said, he gave into temptation, and thus was led to his death.

@fliptrick540 So we need puppies strangled in front of our faces to learn that we're all naturally assholes?

What is up with all the subliminal messages

Its not until you watch the movie that you realize that they were just kids. Not the mental picture you have of them or had.

"It was Christianity wich first brought sin into the world"
I Disagree with that qrote, its was the first religion, first society, Christianity was not the first religion.
