Piggy is a complex character that Golding portrays as an outcast by placing him in an unnatural setting.

However, he is also a victim of asthma and myopia, the condition of being shortsighted. Myopia is fixed by wearing glasses, which is a symbol of technology and civilization. Piggy plays a major role throughout the novel and serves as symbols of logic, scientific knowledge as well as inferiority. When trapped on a stranded island
contrast to society. In his speculative fiction novel, The Lord of the Flies, William Golding designs an indignant Piggy with an aptitude for reasoning and a being that’s disapproved of. Most importantly, Piggy is a sharp English child and an undeviating (former)member of society. Confronting and astonishing the entire council of boys, Piggy devises a radical proposal: ”Only Piggy can have the intellectual daring to suggest moving the fire from the mountain.”(117-118).
Golding uses Ralph, Jack, Piggy, and Simon to allegorically depict various people’s internal struggle between savagery and civility – evil or good. Ralph is strong and, though he struggles against savagery, he ultimately remains civilized even when all around him turn into animals. Jack, Ralph’s main antagonist, is weak and gives in to the animal impulses, which in turn pollutes the rest of society on the island, leaving only Ralph, Piggy, Sam, and Eric as a small society. Piggy is weak but his logic
the most important symbols that help understand Piggy are the pigs on the island and his glasses. His glasses represent his intelligence and his ability to come up with creative ideas about how to survive. Piggy is the one who finds the conch and teaches Ralph how to use it. The pigs on the other hand share a very similar behavior as Piggy who is shy but crucial to the survival of the boys. Without the pigs, at the boys would starve out and without Piggy they wouldn’t even be together in one spot.
Piggy is seen as a symbol of intelligence in Lord of the Flies, he offers ideas and sees the right way to do things at times but most of the other boys on the island do not care for Piggy's ideas or help and they usually pick on him, most likely because he is overweight and is seen as different and unneeded due to his weight, his asthma and the glasses he must wear all the time. In the novel, Piggy's real name is never mentioned and he is even sometimes called "Fatty" by Jack and the others which

Sadly, Piggy has no parents as they both died. “My dads dead… and my mum--” (Pg.13). He is very intelligent but do to his body weight and size he is the most physically vulnerable. Piggy doesn’t have good good eye sight and and can’t see very well without his glasses. He also frequently quotes his aunt. “My auntie told me not to run, because of asthma.” (Pg.9).

Ralph comes across as crude and indecent, thoughtlessly and condescendingly calling Piggy by the name Piggy after he explicitly urged him not to. This action gives light to the possibility that Ralph will end up being a selfish and spiteful character, possibly the novel’s antagonist. As with Ralph, Piggy’s descriptions make it appear that he will
