As evidenced by the ideas that he puts forth and his way
of reasoning things out, most readers point to Piggy as the most intelligent one of the
group, or at the very least the most rational. In some ways his character is meant to
represent a boy that has intelligence and the capability of reason but little else as he
is too shy to go in front of the group and certainly too fat and weak to be a leader in
the way Jack is.
Some might point to Ralph as being
intelligent thanks to his ability to navigate his way to leadership, but it is really
Piggy in his ear that guides him to that post.
