There are multiple allegories in Lord of the Flies. You might consider the island as a microcosm of the world. This is Golding's social experiment where the boys themselves become symbols of the outside world. The conch represents democracy or Parliament. Simon is a Christ figure: he represents goodness and sacrifice. Piggy represents intellect and knowledge.
