Butterflies can make nature seemingly innocent, in the book "The Lord of the Flies", William Golding shows how butterflies play a critical yet subtle role. In our society butterflies can show beauty to nature and can represent the short cycle of life that is experienced. On page 151 it says ""Even the butterflies deserted the open space where this obscene thing grinned and dripped." Golding shows us that even the innocent beauty of butterflies flee its evil surroundings. In chapter 3, "Nothing moved but a pair of gaudy butterflies that danced round each other in the hot air." These butterflies symbolize something that is not in common with the pig head but symbolize the immortal soul.
