The "Lord of the Flies" could be described as the best leader throughout the novel because the majority of the boys choose to act like savages and subscribe to the belief that they need to make sacrifices to the beast. The "Lord of the Flies" is symbolic of the inherent evil and wickedness present in each individual. It also represents the carnal desire in each human. The boys who chose to join Jack's tribe essentially follow their inherent desires, thus choosing to follow the "Lord of the Flies." They neglect civility and opt to become savages. The "Lord of the Flies" is regarded as a significant figure that requires attention from the boys and encourages violence on the island. Flies surround the rotting pig's head, and the name "Lord of the Flies" is the actual translation of the Hebrew word Beelzebub, also known as the Devil. The savage acts of violence and disregard for humanity on the island result from Satan's "leadership" on the island. Murder and intimidation are prevalent, which is why the "Lord of the Flies" can be described as the most successful leader on the island.
