Why was the novel by Ethel Lilian Voynich called the Gadfly? Gadflies were pests.

Moby-Moby was a novel published by Ethel Voynich in 1926. Although the protagonist of the book was an insect named "Moby", the name was not set for the insect but to help readers better understand the theme and plot of the novel. In the novel, Niu Meng was a young man who rebelled against authority. He faced all kinds of difficulties and challenges, but finally overcame all his obstacles through firm beliefs and brave actions and became a great leader and revolutionary. The theme of the story of the Gadfly is about courage, faith and freedom. Therefore, although the name "Gadfly" is an insect, it is designed to help readers better understand the story. I hope my answer will help you better understand this story.
