Ironcially, it is Simon who, early in the novel, expresses the least fear. He understands that fear is a dangerous and useless emotion, and insists on going in search of the beast in order to prove that there is nothing to fear. However, what Simon finds ignites the fear in him. He realizes that the beast is the dark side of boys' nature. He fears what the boys will do to each other as they become less civilized, and foresees that what has happened to the boar will happen to the boys.
