Lord of the Flies
What prophetic statement does Simon say to Ralph?
Why do you thin golding has Simon say it? Chapter 7
Why do you thin golding has Simon say it? Chapter 7
Simon whispers in Ralph's ear, "You’ll get back all right.” There are no concrete reasons for Simon knowing this. Simon, however, is our Christ-figure. He says and does things that are beyond the boys' comprehension. Golding put Simon in the story to offer a wisdom that none of the boys have. It is a mystery where or how he is so evolved but his prophesy certainly carries some weight; Simon has never been wrong before.
