You may be confused as to why a butterfly relates to Great Expectations but to me its rather obvious. One of the themes of this book is Pip growing up and becoming a man. The process of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly really symbolizes this. It also relates in the way that Pip is shedding his country origins to go to the city to become a gentleman, much in the same way that a caterpillar sheds its skin to become something sophisticated.
Nice job! I really like the comparison between Pip's metamorphosis and a butterfly's. Way to be creative!
