Lord of the Flies - A Dark Look at Humanity

One of my favorite books from high school has to be William Golding's Lord of the Flies.  For me it portrayed in the most graphic way, the true characters and archetypes of the human race, and it did so using children.  Reflecting on the story, each character speaks to me in different ways and for very different reasons.  Simon for example is a character that I will never forget. His quiet demeanor and resemblance to a "Jesus-like" figure is uncanny, down to his death.  Take a minute to reflect on the characters in this novel and respond with who spoke most to you as a reader.
