piggy represented the sanity and civilization of the book. his death represented the boys finally becoming barbaric. simon was the hero, or christ figure, if looking at it from a religious perspective. his death represented christ's death for the sinners, or the hero dying to save the others.

Monster = Communism or Terrorism
