Page 77: "On two sides was the beach; behind, the lagoon; in front, the darkness of the island." Symbolic of the evil of man.
ISLAND = MAN
Page 80: Hygiene is breaking down. The boys are starting to go to the bathroom near the fruit. Who's not to tell them?
Page 81: "Can't you see we ought to--ought to die before we let the fire out?" Fire = Savior; No Fire = No Savior = Death
Page 83: "Course there isn't a beast in the forest. How could there be? What would a beast eat?"
"Pig."
"We eat pig."
"Piggy!"
FORESHADOWING
Piggy = Scientific
SIMON GETS IT!! Page 89: "Maybe," he said hesitantly, "maybe there is a beast...What I mean is . . . maybe it's only us." BAM!!!
Chap 5 HUGE break down in rules/laws/society/language

Chapter 5 is full of symbolism obviously. The boys are becoming more barbaric and less civilized. They are beginning to realize this yet, they have no control of stopping it. They continue on a downward spiral. I also think that Piggy will be killed and eaten by them in a future chapter (the foreshadowing statement on page 83).
