@chupacabras0905 I agree with your points and yeah religion isn't a major part of the story but it is a theme. Simon has epilepsy and back then they thought he was being touched by god when he had a fit and some people did think that he was the saviour in the story - the good amongst the evil and he died as a sacrifice. It's not major but it is relevant in the text

@chupacabras0905 Simon may not have had much physical impact but his symbolic is boundless, he can be interpreted as a Christ figure due to his connection with nature and overall good nature, a trait shared with no other survivor on the island. Piggy and Simon's death's both show the island community's decent to savagery and hatred.

A big thing against the whole novel being christian allegory is that Simon, who is commonly viewed as a Jesus like figure in the book, dies and the island dives deeper into barbarianism, instead of cleansing them of sin. Still, there's no doubt that there is definitely biblical implications in the novel.

The ironic thing is i saw this two nights ago and the next day i the teacher recomended this book for our book project so i was like, "Hell yeah I'm reading that." and then bought it and didn't read it yet

@L3TT3RSNNUM83RS0N1Y Thank you that's all I'm saying, i know theres a biblical theme and underlining to this story and i see it, but people need to explore the other possibilities, any struggle between good and evil, sane and insane, morality and imorality can be viewed as something religous but i think it tell us alot more about ourselves as the human race and our melevolent nature. Thanks for your input
