Not entirely sure how to interpret your post, so correct me if I'm wrong. Your argument is that there are various metaphors (involving roses, butterflies, etcetera) which suggest Rosa is...Beatrice and/or Yasu? And presumably that Beatrice must be the culprit, and therefore Rosa is the culprit. I can't see your reasoning for Kyrie and Rudolf culprits there.

I don't think that argument hangs together coherently, based on the way it's presented there. There are metaphors to make, as there are metaphors which can be made about many of the Umineko characters, but I fail to see how the ones in question would equate to Rosa or Kyrie and Rudolf being the Prime culprits. For example, Maria's attachment to the sick rose could certainly be taken as a symbol of her devotion to her abusive named-after-a-rose mother, but there's no reason to suppose that that means Rosa is the Prime culprit.

What would their motives be for murdering everybody on the island?
