Summary

This quote portrays the journey of a hesitant Vestal whose doubts and skepticism prevent her from embracing the vibrant and diverse aspects of life. She retreats into a state of desolation, barricading herself from experiencing the beauty and joy that surround her. By ridiculing the unique markings of butterflies, which symbolizes uniqueness and individuality, she denies herself the opportunity to appreciate the inherent beauty found in imperfections. The quote reminds us of the importance of opening our hearts and minds to embrace the richness of life, rather than shutting ourselves off.
