   Who plays Simon in 'Lord of the flies'?

   • In the 1990 film, he is played by James Badge Dale. Simon in this version of the story never has any encounter with the "Lord of the Flies", and Ralph has no part in his death.

   • Instead, Jack hysterically assumes the monster is approaching, orders his Hunters to attack, and Simon is dead before anyone realizes the mistake.

   Why did Jesus call Simon 'Lord of the flies'?

   • Simon started out as Simon until Jesus decided really his name should be "Peter" instead, because "peter" means rock—and Simon was the "rock" on which Jesus would build his church. If you glance at our " Nutshell," you'll notice that Lord of the Flies is a response to an earlier and much more cheerful boys-on-a-desert-island book, The Coral Island.

   Simon is the only member of Jack 's chorus who doesn't become a hunter. The most generous of the biguns, Simon helps Ralph build the shelters not out of a sense of duty, but because he wants to. Simon is also the most insightful and in many ways the bravest of the boys.

   Simon, walking in front of Ralph, felt a flicker of incredulity—a beast with claws that scratched, that sat on a mountain-top, that left no tracks and yet was not fast enough to catch Samneric. However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human, at once heroic and sick.
