The Pig's Head
This is a symbol of the power of evil, and a kind of Satan figure who evokes the beast within each boy. Looking at the book as biblical parallels, the Lord of the Flies recalls the devil, just as Simon recalls Jesus. The name “Lord of the Flies” is a literal translation of the name of the biblical name Beelzebub, a demon in hell sometimes thought of as the devil himself.

Signal Fire
The signal fire burns on the mountain, and later on the beach so that passing ships can see it and rescue the boys. The signal fire becomes a symbol of the boys’ connection to civilization. When the boys keep the fire going is a sign that they want to be rescued and return to society. When the fire burns low or goes out, we see that the they have lost sight of their desire to be rescued and have become savages.

Piggy's Glasses
The glasses symbolize intelligence and education. This is clear from the start of the novel, when the boys use the lenses from Piggy’s glasses to start a fire. When Jack’s hunters raid Ralph’s camp and steal the glasses, they take the power to make fire, leaving Ralph’s group helpless.
