    Mirabal Sisters

    Butterflies do not start out as the colorful flying creatures they start as weak and limited caterpillars growing themselves. Then they begin their process as a chrysalis confined in a cocoon and undergo a transformation known as metamorphosis. The Mirabal sisters are like this too. Under Trujillo oppressive regime, most people, including the Mirabal sisters, felt confined. “I mean in my head after I got to Inmaculada and met Sinita and saw what happened to Lina and realized that I’d just left a small cage to go into a bigger one, the size of a whole country.”(Alvarez 13). Upon realizing the truth about this dictator, Minerva and her other sisters begin to fight the order of things and are transformed. Indeed, Minerva's alias becomes the "butterfly" and we see this enclosed woman break free from the shackles of "El…
