    - 'so bright they had deceived Ralph into thinking him delightfully gay and wicked.'
  - He is described as a weak and secretive person.
    - 'a skinny, vivid little boy, with a glance coming up from under a hut of straight hair that hung down, black and course.'
  - He isn't as tall as the big'uns but not as small as the littl'uns.
    - 'If Simon walks in the middle of us...then we can talk over his head.'
- Speech
  - Simon speaks with wisdom and prophecy making him a Godly figure in the novel.
    - 'You'll get back to where you came from.'
  - Like other mystics, Simon asks questions the other boys cannot answer. They require anstract thought and courageous action.
    - 'What else is there to do?'
  - Simon speaks to spread his enlightenment - like other religious figures.
    - 'What I mean is...maybe it's just us.'
- Opinions of others
  - Simon agrees mostly with Ralph's ideas and disagrees with Jack.
    - 'I mean the way things are. They dream. You can hear 'em. Have you been awake at night?'

    - Simon gives Piggy his meant when Jack won't.
    - 'Go on being chief.'
  - He cares for the littl'uns and is popular among them.
    - '...pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands.'
- Bahaviour
  - Simon acts morally and with kindness because he believes in the inherent value of doing good.
    - 'All day I've been working with Simon. No one else. They're off bathing, or eating, or playing...'
  - Simon is the only boy who doesn't seem to be afraid of the forest because he knows he is safer alone than with the other boys.
    - 'I'll go if you like. I don't mind, honestly.'
  - He is like Jesus
    - Helps others
