"'I'm warning you. I'm going to get angry. D'you see? You're not wanted. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island. Understand? We are going to have fun on this island! So don't try it on, my poor misguided boy, or else-'"
-Lord of the Flies Page 144
This seen sets in motion the events that will lead up to the first murder on the island. Simon realizes that the real beast on the island is inside all the boys. It is human nature that will threaten the boys, not some physical being. The encounter scares Simon to the point that he faints in the face of the pig head. The pig head tells him that the other boys do not like him, and that the island will eventually lead to the deaths of all of the boys.
