The Conch: In the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, the conch shell is a powerful symbol that represents order, authority, and civilization. The boys on the island use the conch to call meetings and make decisions, and it is seen as a symbol of their collective will and the democratic process. The conch also represents the boys' connection to the outside world and their desire for structure and organization.<br /><br />The Beast: The Beast is another important symbol in "Lord of the Flies." It represents the primal fear and darkness within each of the boys, as well as the unknown and the unknown dangers that lurk in the world. The Beast is a manifestation of the boys' own inner demons and their fear of the unknown, and it serves as a reminder of the thin veneer of civilization that separates them from the savage instincts that lurk within.
