-Spoiler warning-
Simon is what's known in literature as the "Christfigure". His plot line is very similar to that of Jesus from Christian mythology and often peacefully confronts the key antagonist (and dies in result). This is shown primarily when, on page 56, Simon helps the littl'uns get the fruit they couldn't reach. Another example is his encounter with Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies starting on page 143.
Simon represents the innate goodness and spirituality within humans. He is the only character who truly understands the nature of the beast on the island and is ultimately killed by the others in a brutal act of savagery. His character serves as a contrast to the darkness and brutality that emerges in the other boys.
Simon represented the innocence of the island he did nothing wrong and was killed.
