Simon’s death is resulted by the beating of him by the boys of the island. He was mistaken to be a beast when he was walking out of the forest during the night. When he tries to explain to the boys that he is Simon and not the beast, he trips and falls over to the beach rocks. The beast is not real, but is assumed to be real by the boys of the island. The reason for this is because Jack makes the beast seem as a godlike figure, he uses this to rule and manipulate the members of the hunting tribe

If Simon stayed any longer he would get under the influence of evil nature and become a savage. The Lord of The Flies is the beast, and the beast is the internal evil that comes out in everybody.

In chapter 5 the reader begins to see a more serious side to Ralph emerging. Ralph does not just want to speak with the boys in an assembly, he has purpose and concern. Ralph had to call the assembly because things on the island seem to be falling apart. No one has done their jobs consistently, and he wants to get things back into some order.
