Butterfly wings are the most interesting of artwork. Because patterns of the wings continue to microscopic extents, a butterflies wings the the epitome of all symmetrically (word?). As a whole, one side reflects the other as one piece of art. The interesting thing about a butterflies wing is that you can take any section, at any angle or perspective, and it will still be beautiful and evoke the same emotions as the overall. Each butterfly has specific colors and angles of patterns which is why it allows the same reaction and evocation of emotion to be carried through as each different section is examined. The same shades of blue, and the same curved lines and sharp corners are carried throughout each bit. As you go through smaller and smaller pieces/portions of a butterflies wing, you'll notice that the intricacy is carried through all the way to a microscopic level.
Yet I never mentioned that the butterflies wing as a whole is always beautiful. Its always intricate, symmetrical, and artistic, though not all butterflies are considered "pretty". Some can be dark, with odd patterns, and embody scary atmospheres (word?). I wouldn't necessarily say that the dark and frightening is the worst thing either tho. So much artistry can be evoked through the dark shapes and colors, because without the dark shades the concept of contrast would be non-existent.
In theatre, this effect can be examined throughout the course of any play. As a whole, a play will aim to evoke a certain emotion, and a director will use certain techniques to ensure this. This can be directly related to the colors and shapes in a butterflies wing. As you continue to break down the play from act to act and from scene to scene, the same ideas and overall "objectives" are carried throughout. You can continue to break down the play down to individual characters who will still carry out the same theme as the whole play itself.
The symmetrically of the wing concept is portrayed in the picture in the directors mind. The initial picture is like the directors vision. The symmetrically is shown through the final product on stage againt the directors vision.
Beautiful or not, plays and butterflies wings both embody the same characteristic of having the ability to be broken down with the same themes and emotion evocation carried throughout.
