In the novel, Lord of the Flies, there are many symbols used throughout the novel to represent more than what it truly is. Also, this novel contains allegory which means that throughout this novel there is a literal and figurative side to the story. Also, a major topic that has been appearing a lot so far in thins novel is human nature. Human nature is the idea that everybody has a different way to react and feel about an event.
Some of the main characters, so far in the novel, are Piggy and Ralph. They are the first boys we meet on the island. They are extremely different, and I believe they are each other's foils. I say this because they do and say things that contradict one another and that emphasizes their own traits to the extreme.
I think that there are many symbols in the book too. I really like the descriptions you use in this blog post.
