You can find many things in Lord of the Flies that can symbolize something. First example of symbolism is the conch shell. Ralph and Piggy discover the conch shell on the beach at the beginning of the novel and use it to call for the boys to come together after the crash separates them. The conch shell then becomes a powerful symbol of civilization and order in the novel.
Another example of symbolism is Piggy’s glasses. Piggy is the most intelligent and he is also the most logical boy in the group. His glasses represent the power of science and mental undertake in a society. This sign of symbolism is clear from the start of the novel when the boys use his glasses to start the fire.
