does Simon believe he story of the beast from Sam and Eric?
Simon does not believe Sam and Eric's story. He believes in a beast, but not in the same way the other boys do. Simon sees the beast as mans' essential illness, capable of both goodness and evil. He sees man as an animal at once heroic and sick.
