In some cases butterflies represent beauty, freedom, and imagery. In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez, The Mirabal sisters represent honor and freedom by the way they react in the book. An example of Minerva Mirabal exemplifying freedom is when she says, “I stare at Manuel de Moya as if pinning him to the wall. ‘I’d sooner jump out that window than be forced to do something against my honor’” (111).

The butterflies that join the first represent reasons for Julia to stay in Texas with John. This would make sense, considering that throughout the story, the only one who’s been constantly there for her when she needed it was John. Though Angus, her best friend since childhood, is always there for her when he can be, he’s not allowed to be there for her, because no one in the tribe is allowed to talk to Julia during her ’exile’ to normal high school. Though John and Julia have rocky patches here and there, overall they always come back to each other in the end and accept each other, because they can’t bare the thought of life without the other

When the time comes for the caterpillar to create its chrysalis it turns a greyish color and begins to spin a silk-like substance into a ball on top or against a malleable surface. It then attaches its rear end to the "silk" lump and hangs upside down in a "j" position. By small contractions of the muscles it begins to shed its skin and head revealing a soft pinkish tan form. Quickly the soft form hardens and becomes greyish brown. The chrysalis stays in this form for eleven to twenty-one days. After that period of time, a small crack begins to form at the tip of the chrysalis revealing the butterfly's head. It continues to slowly move down through the bottom of the chrysalis until its legs are free to cling onto the shell of the chrysalis
