The imaginary beast that frightens all the boys stands for the primal instinct of savagery that exists within all human beings. The boys are afraid of the beast, but only Simon reaches the realization that they fear the beast because it exists within each of them. As the boys grow more savage, their belief in the beast grows stronger. By the end of the novel, the boys are leaving it sacrifices and treating it as a totemic god. The boys’ behavior is what brings the beast into existence, so the more savagely the boys act, the more real the beast seems to become.
I suggest you read the book or watch the movie for a better understanding
Personal opinion here...Why did you not read the book or rent the movie?...I think the beast represents fear and evil to keep them in line. After one of them dissappears they think the beast got him and change leaders if I'm not mistaken.
Have a read through the book as per the previous suggestion.
You may also find some useful hints on here:
