Think about it: severed pig head on the stick, dead parachutist, Simon. All are a manifestation of the beastie, AKA this fear of innate savagery. All are sacrificed in order to "secure" society from the beastie. All are undignified in some sort of way by society. All are naturally good.
Each one covers a different level of victimization! The pig represents the natural world. Simon represents the group of boys on the island. The dead parachutist represents the adult world.
That, my friend, will be my essay.
