Religious Allusions: Chapter 8 Research


Please research the answers to the following multi-faceted question:

Who is Beelzebub and what does he/she have to do with the “Lord of the Flies”? (5) Why do you think Simon is the one whom Golding selected to have a confrontation with the “Lord of the Flies”? (speak to Simon’s character, nature and disposition—and consider the literary term FOIL) (5). Finally, critics argue that through this confrontation, Golding is alluding to a famous story from the bible. Briefly explain this story.  Do you agree? (5)

Post your answers by commenting to this blog.  You must constructively respond to at least one other comment (min. 3 sentences).
