Question

what is the “beast from air”? how is it appropriate that the boys mistake it for a beast—what connection does it have with the novel‟s themes, and what does it symbolize?

Answer 1

The beast from air is an imaginary beast from the novel "Lord of the Flies". It is a manifestation from the fear of the boys. This started when Samneric found a body of the dead pilot. Even though Simon was doubtful of the existence of the beast, others dismissed his thought.
