The Hunt For The Beast

In chapter 6, the boys go off on a hunt to find the "beast". Ralph ad the hunters decide to go and leave Piggy taking care of the littluns. They grab spears and head off to find the beast. The symbol I think is that the boys have it in them (beast). Since they are stuck in an island with no family and people they just met they could go crazy and go on a rampage. The beast is pretty much the bad side of the boys or the dark side. Ralph as the leader decides to go out and look for the beast. He takes responsibility as the chosen chief.
