<span>The most obvious way to explain this metaphor is to say that envy breeds treachery and butterflies breed caterpillars. When one is envious of something, one sees the beauty in it, just as one sees a butterfly and remarks at its beauty. But when one acts on that envy and attempts to take whatever they are envious of or do something about it, they get a hairy caterpillar: treachery. The main character in this story threatens to tell his parents of his sister eating pork. He doesn't actually do it until his father gives the three children notebooks. Then the main character sees his sister with two blotters and gets jealous. He envies her and those two blotters. So then, he tells his parents, an act of treachery, thinking that he will continue to see the beautiful butterfly envy has shown him. Instead, his envy breeds treachery. He is shown a hairy caterpillar, bred of the beautiful butterfly of envy.</span>

Who is the speaker in this poem? "Robin Hood and the Scotchman.”
MAVERICK [17]
I believe that the speaker in the ballad of Robin Hood and the Scotsman is someone who knows the story. 
<span>If you read the ballad, it can be concluded that Robin Hood is on his own. Friar Tuck was not with him. This ballad is also written in the past tense so Robin Hood could not have been the narrator. One can infer that the story was of the fight was either told to the narrator of this ballad by Robin Hood himself or the Scotsman. </span>

B you would be able to eliminate a and c because it isn't true that it does have any effect on the meaning of the poem and you could tell that personification is used and that it isn't nonsense it's just figurative language
