Who Kills Piggy and Why
Roger, one of Jack's hunters, causes Piggy's death. He aims the boulder at Piggy to eliminate him as the last voice of reason and civilization on the island. The attack is deliberate and marks the final collapse of order among the boys.
Significance of Piggy's Death
Piggy's death symbolizes the complete loss of logic, rules, and adult-like governance on the island. With Piggy gone, Ralph is left completely alone against Jack's tribe. The event shows how quickly fear and violence can destroy rational society, a theme often discussed in literary analyses of the novel.
