Do you think that Piggy's spectacles has any symblic significance in Lord of the Flies?

In my opinion, Piggy's spectacles do have a symbolic
significance in this book.  I believe that they symbolize science and technology and the
power that those things carry.

In the story, Piggy's
spectacles are really the only piece of technology on the island.  They are powerful
because they are the best way of starting a fire.

The
spectacles are also connected to science because they belong to Piggy.  Piggy is the
smartest boy on the island -- he is the one who is closest of any of them to being an
intellectual.

The fighting over the spectacles can be seen
as a symbol of the ways in which countries fight over things that give them
technological power.
