Question: What does the quote 'we will all laugh at glided butterflies' mean!?
Answers:
The quote is from King Lear!.
So we’ll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we’ll talk with them too—
Who loses and who wins; who’s in, who’s out—
And take upon ‘s the mystery of things,
As if we were God’s spies!.
"gilded butterflies" refers to the courtiers, along with all the connotations that they suggest are contained in the metaphor!. It seems to me what is very i here, however, is not just what they refer to but also Lear's attitude toward them: because he is with his daughter, Lear will "laugh" at the butterflies, doing so as the two of them pretend "they are God's spies!." In prison, their position becomes privileged, not punitive!. They will see more, know more, and live more deeply than they did before!. And they will do so on the side of God!. What before had been problematic--these courtiers--will now be inconsequential!. The "gilded butterflies" might indeed be free outside the cage of prison in which Lear and Cordelia will reside, but since prison will allow them "to sing," they will be more free than those insignificant, superficially beautiful insects (which is what butterflies are) flittering about aimlessly!. Of course we need to remember that Lear is quite mad in this final scene, but perhaps it is the kind of madness that Plato speaks of, the kind that permits special knowledge, a greater view of life!.
