Answer:In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, the other boys view Simon as strange and otherworldly. One quote that captures this idea is:"Simon. He was a skinny, vivid little boy, with a glance coming up from under a hut of straight hair that hung down, black and course. He interrupted what he was doing to look round. Then, his mouth slightly open, he sat forward and peered at the parody of a human that hung from the tree. ‘There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast.’ Simon’s head wobbled. His eyes were half closed as though he were imitating the obscene thing on the stick. He knew that Ralph was looking at him sideways and that Piggy was outraged. ‘You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s no go? Why things are what they are?’" (Chapter 8)This quote shows that Simon has a unique perspective and is not afraid to speak out about what he sees. However, his behavior and strange mannerisms make him an outcast among the other boys. They see him as being "weird" and unable to fit in with their group.
