Piggy, it symbolizes the corruption of all the boys. Roger is the person who pushes the boulder onto Piggy that kills him. On that note, another example is the symbolism itself of Piggy’s death.

In the events where i would be left on an island i would want to have a place to think away from everyone else as well. I think this is the reason simon says so calm compared to the boys, he has a piece of mind.
