Lord of the Flies: Summary
Lord of the Flies: Summary
By: Wiliam Golding
Main Character Description
Piggy: A large kid, one of the older ones. He was made fun of and teased about
his weight and it drove him crazy. He met Ralph first. Piggy wore glasses, which
later proved vital for fire making. The best way to get to Piggy was to take
away his “specs” because without them, he couldn't see a foot away from anything.
He is later killed in the book. He falls fourty feet onto solid rock and his
head splits open.
Ralph: Ralph is chief of the group on the very first day. He was voted above
Jack and his small band of kids. Ralph is one of the oldest. He first meets
Piggy and was the original founder of the Conch Horn. Ralph comes up with many
useful ideas during the novel, like the shelters on the beach. He is hunted
right before they are rescued.
Jack: Has his own band of kids that he later names, his “hunters.” In the
group, they are responsible for the hunting of the pigs of the island; to bring
in meat. Otherwise, the only thing they had to eat was the fruit of the island.
Later on in the novel, Jack leaves the group of kids to be on his own.
Simon: Quiet, out-spoken by everyone, Simon is one of the hardest-working of
them all. He helps Ralph with the shelters and the little ones with fruit. He is
later killed in the novel.
Sam ‘n Eric: Sam and Eric are twins. They help in various problems during the
novel and survive until the end of the novel. Neither of them play a vital role
in the novel.

and climb it's pink mountain to see if the place they were at is trully an
island. They find it is.
