At the end of The Insect Play, the tramp worries about his death after the chrysalis, who is waiting to be born throughout the play, dies soon after her birth as a moth. This foreshadows the tramp's death, and his body is found in the morning by the woodcutter and the woman. The tramp represents man's conscious.
