This photo symbolizes when Pip leaves his home and heads to London and thinks, "We changed, and yet again, and it was now too late and too far to go back, and I went on. And now the mists had all solemnly risen now, and the world lay spread before me." (160) The butterfly represents Pip's old life; his family, Biddy, his future career as a blacksmith, everything. He's letting go of his old life and leaving it behind. The chains tied around the two hands signify the fact that Pip can't turn back now. He has to leave everything and everyone behind in his old life, start fresh, and become the gentleman he's always wanted to be.
