so i gave lord of the flies to a very christian friend of mine, he thought the whole "pigs head is the devil" thing was literal >___<

I tried to explain it was a metaphor for the darker human instincts and how when they come up it can seem like something else is talking to you.

he was just like derrrrr heerrrrrr derrrrr.

Maybe if you keep telling him about the symbols in the book or show him some analysis of the book, he´ll start to understand this masterpiece :)
