Simon and Lord of the Flies conversation
I have just read the book and concluded that there are several issues in the section of the plot summary that describes Simon's conversation with the Lord of the Flies. First, the summary does not mention that the Lord of the Flies is the beast, a fairly big point. Also, the Lord of the Flies mentions nothing about "the soul of man". Finally, while the article says he warns Simon that the boys will kill him and "predicts" he will die, this is inaccurate; the Lord of the Flies is threatening Simon, saying that he will cause the other boys to kill Simon if he(Simon) tries to stop what Jack and his tribe are doing. However, the article is locked for editing, so I can't make these changes yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.36.81.53 (talk) 14:57, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
The factual error regarding Piggy's glasses
(This error is already stated on the IMDB goof pages for both the 1963 and 1990 movie versions which also reference the error being in the original book). The glasses for Piggy's particular eye condition (nearsightedness) would scatter the sun's rays not concentrate them - making them even more useless than ordinary glass for starting a fire. The error once spotted had to be left in after first publication though - because making fire and Piggy's seeing ability without the glasses were both central points. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.210.174 (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

In the "Background" section it states, as "a jolly good show, like the Coral Island". The quote in the novel is "I know. Jolly good show. Like the Coral Island." Should be changed to "[a] jolly good show. Like the Coral Island." https://englishcreek.weebly.com/uploads/6/9/7/2/6972564/g6_lord_of_the_flies_-_770l.pdf Page 157 Fortifiedfruit (talk) 14:13, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
