Question

The scene where Simon meets the "Lord of the Flies" is probably the most famous scene in the book, and that's why we have only one question today, so that we can focus on it. What similarities can you find between this scene and the biblical story of Jesus' temptation in the desert? What predictions can you make for the rest of the book as a result of this scene?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. The similarity between this scene and the biblical scene is that both deal with the disturbance of the human being, caused by a demonic figure. Simon is disturbed by the lord of the flies, who represents evil and filth, while Jesus Cirsto is disturbed by the devil himself.

2. According to this scene, we can predict that Simon will have completely uncontrolled actions, evidencing mental destruction and a complete lack of civility.
