Spears, conches, and pig heads. These are all symbols in William Golding’s lord
Of the flies. In lord of the flies the conch, spears, and pig head are all signs of power and evil
That helps the boys that are stranded on an island kill and betray each other.
In lord of the flies, the conch is a source of power and authority trough out the
Novel, this is shown in “yet most powerfully there was the conch.”(Golding pg. 21) this is saying
That the conch is the most powerful thing that the boys have .Other evidence of this is on pg. 22
“Held up the conch for silence” this shows that the conch has a lot of authority and control over the
Boys .Another example of this is on pg.34 “Ralph waved the conch”
