Symbolic importance in Lord of the Flies In “Lord of the Flies” written by William Golding‚ there are several symbols throughout the novel that are significantly important due to their meaning. In my opinion‚ the three main symbols are the signal fire‚ the conch and Lord of the Flies. A symbol represents something else; Golding did a good job helping the reader understand the true significance of the object or thing. Firstly‚ the signal fire represents the boy’s last connection with civilization

The boulder that Roger rolls onto Piggy also crushes the conch shell‚ signifying the demise of the civilized instinct among almost all the boys on the island.

Ralph wants to keep order and the only way to keep order is with rules.
