"Lord of the Flies" by William Golding features characters such as Ralph, Piggy, Jack, Simon, and Roger, who are stranded on an uninhabited island and struggle to maintain order and civilization. The novel explores themes of power, human nature, and the loss of innocence as the boys descend into chaos and violence.
This is debatable. In my opinion, the main characters are Ralph, Piggy, Jack, and Simon.
Another View:Ralph - The initial leader of the group; he represents civilization and Law and Order.
Piggy - The intellectual boy, always thinking logically and pointing out the obvious to the other boys.
Jack Merridew - The oldest boy and original leader of the choir; he forms his choir into the hunters, splits off his own group, and succumbs to savagery.
Simon - The sensitive boy; he represents goodness and self-sacrifice for the benefit of the group.
Samneric (Sam and Eric) - The twins; early on, they represent adherence to order and civilization, but eventually cave in to Jack's influence.
Roger - Initially the quite and furtive boy; later, he is revealed to be sadistic and cruel, and acts as Jack's lieutenant.

Another View:Other boys named in the book are Maurice, Bill, Robert, Harold, Henry, Boy with mulberry-colored birthmark, Percival Wemys Madison, Phil, Walter, Wilfred, and Johnny.
In addition, there are some other characters who are mentioned but not named: 3 small children no older than Johnny; and a dark little boy, not much younger than Piggy.
There is also the head of the pig who becomes the Lord Of The Flies, the dead pilot who parachuted onto the island and becomes the beast, and the naval officer at the end of the book.
Only three characters take an active and named part in chapter three. Jack, who was hunting for pigs alone, returned to the beach and struck up a conversation with Ralph, who along with Simon had been building a third shelter. Jack and Ralph eventually go to bathe in the pool. Simon leaves the beach and walks through the forest, pausing to pick fruit for some littluns, on his way to his 'secret place,'
