Lord of the Flies What is the symbolic meaning of the shattered conch? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 08 Jan 15:59
Whenever there is to be a camp meeting they will blow the conch shell. Also, if someone wanted to speak, they held the shell. By smashing it, they are symbolically doing away with all rules and organization and are reverting to savagery.
