The main characters in this novel are Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon, Roger, and other boys. They all have different characteristics; and those characteristics include deep meanings that Golding wants to tell about the society at that time. For example, Roger represents the pure evil and wrongness; like Roger all the other characters has representing meanings. I personally like all the characters in this story. Because they weren’t that evil from the beginning, they changed as they were living in the island. I especially like Simon. I think he is very intelligent and courageous. He is curious and smart to find for the truth and what the real beast is, and he does find what the beast is. But then because he is weak and tiny, he is killed by the beast: which are the boys. In this story the boys were weak and gentle children, but as they live in the island they change. I think the way how the boys changed shows the other side of the human, and the universal human experience is revealed. The environment has changed them, all they think about is to survive and have authorities in the island. What is special about the theme is that the theme applies to all the characters in this novel. All the characters are just like the theme, they all have their inner evilness and they are the beast, the boys have so many things in common. I think the theme and the traits of the characters are related very strongly.

Grace, I agree that all the characters in the story are connected to theme. I was surprised to see you like all the characters, because I didn't like Jack and Roger. They don't have mercy, wild, irresponsible, even though the environment changed their personality, those personalities are that they always had.
I also like how you put layouts in your blog, they are pretty=)
