How are they presented? Why?
Kind, caring, brave, courageous, good, wise, vulnerable, doing
What is their purpose within the text? Why?
Simon symbolises human nature of goodness, kindness and caring, and an innate spiritual love/ good that is as primal as the boys savagery on the island.
What do we learn of their relationships?
Ralph - Share some views on how society on the island should function, allies, supportive, slight distance, value each other.
Jack - Finds each other annoying, useless, dislikes each other, lack respect. While Jack expresses this more explicitly, Simon does this through his actions rather than his words, opposite primal instincts.
