    The novel A Cage of Butterflies by Brian Caswell explores how social norms and stereotypes isolate and ostracise people who don’t fit societal standards, through false preconceptions that prevent communication and the immense pressure to conform to societal conventions. Through his characterisation of the think-tank children and his depiction of their treatment from those outside the facility, Caswell successfully communicates the importance of listening to others and overcoming preconceptions to connect with others, and sends a message of hope to teenagers who don’t fit society’s conventions. The preoccupation with oneself due to social stigma and awkwardness as a barrier to communication is an important issue explored within the novel. Self-centredness often leads to the avoidance of those who are different in order to avoid awkwardness, preventing the connection of people and creating an unbreachable divide between them on the basis of lack of communication. Greg’s crippled legs in the novel show how preconceptions create an immediate barrier to communication that can stop a conversation before it even begins.…
