I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell -- you see, I have friends in both places. Mark Twain [ah....more flies...yes and become - The Lord of Flies] Simon insists on climbing the mountain to find out what it (the beast) is. Against the boys' derision he says, and against the warning of the Lord of the Flies he repeats, "What else is there to do?" His intransigence in climbing the mountain, his insistence on understanding, is a metaphor for what the book itself does. The book dares to name the beast, the evil in man's heart, as the beast.
