*Entry of my own*
I think there are several significant simbols that we have to think about in order to understand this novel fully. First one is the conch shell. It was first discovered and used by Ralph and Piggy to gather all the kids to the beach. In every meetings, only the person with the conch could talk. I think the conch shell simbolizes the power of civilization. When piggy was killed, conch shell was also destroyed completely. It tells us that it was the moment when the civilization ended. The Lord of the Flies is the sow's bloody head that Jack put on a stake. I think it symbolizes the power of evil. In the novel you can see Simon, who represents moral and goodness, fighting against Lord of the Flies. Piggy's glasses symbolizes the power of science in our society. It was used to make fires. Jack's group (savagery) even came and beat the kids badly to steal the glasses for making fire.
