Here we see a dramatic dialog between the Oracle of the Divine Pumpkin and the supplicant caterpillar unfolding before us. Never before, from the Delphi Oracle to the Oracle of the Matrix, has the supplicant cast doubt on the accuracy of the Oracle’s divination or threatened the Oracle with punishment for wrong foretelling.
The Oracle foretells the caterpillar that she will be transformed into the beautiful Princess of the Butterflies. But if it does not happen, the Oracle will perish – eaten by the caterpillar.
