Golding makes it clear that Simon has been known to suffer fainting spells. This helps to encourage the other boys to question his mental alertness. Some critics have argued that Simon is an epileptic, and that he experiences seizures, which lead to his hallucination in the woods with the pig's head. Although Golding gives no evidence to this, it is certainly one way to connect his "visions" and his fainting spells.
