Please explain the conversation between the Lord of Flies and Simon in William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies.

In
chapter eight of , by ,and his hunters sharpen a stick at both ends and
place the dismembered head of a pig on it as a kind of offering. Jack says, This head is for
the beast. Its a gift. Jack knows that he is helping his hunters to be less afraid by suggesting
this token as some kind of appeasement for the imaginary beast they are all at least somewhat
afraid of; however, it is literally just a rather gory pig's head on a stick.

has seen the entire incident from his place of solitude, the place he goes when he
needs to be alone. The first thing we learned about Simon is that he is prone to fainting, and
the description of this conversation with what is called the Lord of the Flies suggests that it
is all some kind of a waking dream. 

There were no shadows
under the trees but everywhere a pearly stillness, so that what was real seemed illusive and
without definition.... In Simons right temple, a pulse began to beat on the brain.

Th Lord of the Flies mocks Simon as a "silly little boy"
for thinking that the beast on the island is "something you could hunt and kill." The
final words the Lord of the Flies speaks to Simon are a threat, After mocking him and taunting
him, the Lord of the Flies says:

Im warning you. Im
going to get angry. Dyou see? Youre not wanted. Understand? We are going to have fun on this
island. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island! So dont try it on, my poor
misguided boy, or else

What he is telling Simon is that
anyone who tries to interfere with the unrestrained savagery which has been released on the
island (the boys' own natural desires and inclinations) will not be tolerated. In fact, he says
that if Simon tries to do anything to stop the savagery, Simon will be killed by "Jack
andand Maurice and Robert and Bill andand ." It is a surprising list because Piggy and
Ralph are Simon's friends, but it is a prophetic statement. Somehow Simon knows what is going to
happen to him, and yet in the next chapter he still tries to warn them.

The
final act in this scene is Simon's fainting, a reminder that this was not an actual conversation
but more of a realization that the sensitive Simon is having with himself; he realizes that it
is they who are the beast and it is their unrestrained human nature that
has caused the evil on this island.
