One critical scene in LOTF is the scene where Simon is injured and imagining the pig head on the stick talking to him. In this scene, you should take notice that he isn't actually having a conversation, it's all in his head. This scene is very important to the novel because it truly shows how they need to get off this island and back home.
In this scene the Simon imagines the pig head saying that he was the beast and the Lord of the Flies, and this was the first mention of this throughout the whole book. Later on in this scene, Simon dies but nobody grieves his death.
