What is the curcial passage in Chapter 5 and 6 that is about Spirituality and Humanity's Relationship with Nature? (Please use quotation from the book with page numbers)
I'm not really sure what passage you are referring to. Any passage with nature and spirituality connected with it involves Simon. I chapter 6, Simon does not see the beast as a monster with claws and large teeth rather than he sees the beast as the inherent sickness of man.
Simon, walking in front of Ralph, felt a flicker of incredulity—a beast with claws that scratched, that sat on a mountain-top, that left no tracks and yet was not fast enough to catch Samneric. However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick.
