She initially laments how people around her never act how they want to or say what they truly feel. Music is a key aspect of the text, as Rachel feels most herself when she is playing the piano. Additionally, the yellow butterflies in South America are focused on, which are also symbols of transformation and development. Firstly, the journey itself from London to South America metaphorically represents Rachel's own spiritual journey to find her identity. Rachel's transformation and development are symbolized in several ways in the text. At this, Helen smiles and is proud of the fact that Rachel has strongly asserted her opinions. Rachel's independence is symbolized by the fact she confronts Helen, telling her that she relies too much on her intellect, and must be more open with her emotions. Hirst encourage Rachel to think critically about her religious faith and tell her to challenge her core beliefs instead of passively accepting them from other people. This outcome is achieved by several means, including encouragement from those around her, a confrontation with challenging events such as climbing up a mountain, and also some complex discussions.
At first, she is depicted as an unintelligent and unthinking young woman, but by the end of the novel, she has become more independent and individualistic.
