In the novel, Lord of the Flies, William Golding used his o writing to establish a hidden message throughout the novel. The hidden message that he built is that there is a natural evil inside every human being. The young boys in the novel are on an island all by themselves. There is no punishment for their actions, therefore allowing that evil to come out of most of the boys. All humans have an innate evil within them and that evil is brought out when there is a lack of civilization and consequence as seen in Simon’s murder, Jack and his tribe attacking Ralph, and Piggy’s murder.

Simon’s death revealed the innate evil within the boys of jack’s tribe. Jack’s tribe hosts a feast to celebrate the boys’ first kill. When Simon comes back from his encounter with the dead parachutist, he is attacked and killed by the tribe.
