    Ralph attempts to use reason to dispel the littluns' fears. But Ralph is "facing something ungraspable," and he can only react in frustration with a blanket denial: "But I tell you there isn't a beast!" To the littluns, this assertion is utterly inadequate. Their fears are not rational. Ralph somehow understands this, but can't quite articulare it; nor can he find words to allay the children's terror.

    This is symbolic of the novel's ongoing conflict between the rational and the irrational, between the cerebral and the instinctual.
