Golding’s use of symbolism is both highly elaborated and very systematic with explicit meaning. The simple and clear counterpart can be found in almost every main character, every thing that happened. In setting description, for example, the conch stands for order, authority and free speech; the rock is the embodiment of brute force; the fire symbolizes signal for rescue, call to civilization and uncontrollable destruction, etc. The theme is thus reinforced by symbolism. Besides, symbolism in characterization proves Golding's unique intelligence. Ralph and Piggy embody responsibility and reason; Jack's gang is the very incarnations of sadistic beasts, which have objectified their darkness of heart by their self-produced God-the Lord of the Flies. Actually, the Lord of the Flies is only an externalization of the inner evil in all humans. The evil is rather than destroyed. It ironically will grow. Later it entirely dominates the whole burning island. At the end of the novel no child is innocent. Ralph has realized his self-awareness by sensing the end of innocence and the darkness of the heart. The author's purpose is to alarm human being by the children's deeds on the desert island-the epitome of the adult world. Even all mankind- they will not escape from the great calamity of war if they were still ignorant of their evil nature. Another character comes. That is Simon whose saintliness and goodness are manifested through symbolism in the novel.
