The beast has several names already in the book Lord of the Flies. It is initially referred to as a snake-thing or beastie. Later during his internalised conversation the beast is named as the Lord of the Flies. Finally the real nature of the beast is revealed as the darkness in the hearts of men.
Simon's death is ironic because he is on his way to tell the rest of the boys that the beast on the mountain top is simply the dead body of a man when he himself is mistaken for the beast and is savagely beaten to death.
In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, the character Simon is mistaken for the "beast" and is killed by the other boys while trying to communicate with them. His death symbolizes the breakdown of reason and humanity on the island.
The lord of the flies is the head of the pig that Jack and his 'tribe' killed, they left it on a stake as an offering to the beast (ie)
Piggy.
By reading the book
Lord Of The Flies, it is the head of the pig offered as a sacrifice to the beast.
In Lord of the Flies there is technically no physcial beast. "The Beast" is a symbol for something greater i.e our inner savergery. Golding uses the beast as only a symbol which the boys seem to reconize even more with their desent into savergery
