Why a Butterfly as the Protangonist?
The butterfly is legend. These scaly-winged, day-flying insects have been idealized throughout the world’s cultures and eras as the essence of beauty, the paragon of the natural world, and the ”stuff of dreams.” Endearing monikers include “Flying Jewels,” “Dancing Flowers,” and “Flowers of the Air.” In addition, the butterfly is often considered the quintessential symbol and metaphor for transcendentalism, that is, a philosophy that embraces transformation, rebirth, renewal—put simply, change. Indeed, several Christian churches draft the butterfly image to represent the risen Christ on Easter Sunday. Finally, the butterfly image is commonly conscripted to be the logo for emotional support associations that champion life-changing experiences. All in all, much of the world’s poetry, prose, art, music, and spiritual celebrations are all rife with the visage of the butterfly. This iconic singularity derives from the butterfly’s metamorphic life cycle: four distinct stages coded as egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult (butterfly). Each exclusive, each exceptional, and each appearing as if by magic.
