Evil exists in all human beings, even children. This is proven in William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies, in which a group of innocent young boys find themselves stranded without any contact with the outside world. The boys don't live in the civilian setting they're used to, but their instincts kick in and their ultimate goal is to survive together. The first feeling of security is when all the boys come together. We give them hope. A hope that is immediately lost when the division begins between the two born leaders, Jack and Ralph.

Ralph found himself in the dance circle and unwittingly participated in the violent murder of his son friend Simon. That's when he truly realized how dangerous Jack and his Simon Hunters were. a different perspective on most things than the rest of the boys, he seems to be more mature, but at the same time less mentally stable addresses Lord of the Flies, where it is said: "Imagine that the Beast was something that. you could hunt and kill... You knew, didn't you, that I was part of you” (William Golding, page 143). This quote states that the beast is inside Simon, as it is in each of us..
