Best Answer

Simon is mistaken for the beast by the other boys during a chaotic nighttime ritual. In their frenzied state, they lose control and beat him to death before realizing their mistake. The violent and irrational behavior of the boys reflects the breakdown of order and morality on the island.

Simon is killed at the end of chapter 9. The boys are having a reenactment of the pig hunt when Simon, who is delirious and hallucinating, crawls into the ring of boys. The boys first think he is the beast and start killing him. When they realize it is Simon and not the beast, they are to caught up and excited to stop. After Simon is killed, all the boys avoid talking about it because they are embarrassed.

The other boys were in savage mode when Simon came crawling out of the forest and they said that they did not "realize it was him". They than did there chant and stabbed him with their spears.
