2.1. Roger and Sam n Eric
2.1.1. There is little and close to no evidence between the three boys, except some hints where Sam n' Eric describe him as a terror. Thankfully, we soon learn they refer to his sadism. Roger is the type of kid who knocks over sandcastles for the pure fun of it. His sadism slowly develops throughout the novel.
2.2. Roger and Maurice
2.2.1. The relationship between these two characters is more symbolic than many things in the book. In the part where the two topple the little one's sandcastles, Maurice is content with simply knocking them over, he can be called a day to day bully if you will. Roger, however, is a sociopath, he lingers and proceeds to throw hard objects at the little one's, enjoying their distress.

3.5. Simon and the beast
3.5.1. Now this is by far Simon's most complex and intriguing relationship throughout the book. Simon is wondering through the woods when he suddenly sees the beast, a pig's head on a stick. He is in fact the only character to have direct contact with the so feared beast. It is at that moment that it's revealed that the beast is not in fact an organism, but it lives inside each of us. It is soon after this encounter that Simon is brutally murdered by the boys. This interaction makes him, in some interpretations, a symbol of holiness and power, where as the beast (again in certain interpretations) is seen as evil, or even the devil himself.

6.4.1. Judging by when, nearing the end, Roger prepares a stick to place ralph's head in, the two don't have the best of relationships. Being the culprit for Piggy's murder, Roger also isn't Ralph's friend. It doesn't help that roger raids Ralph's camp and terrorizes the little ones.
