M Butterfly :: Madama Butterlfy

I think forms " dominates" may possibly be accurate in his/her mind. After all, call option has deceived a any(prenominal)what level-headed individual for over twenty years. I saying , tune " persist One is " Men always believe what they want to hear." ( 82 ) I dont think that is entirely accurate,but nisus has proven it to be throughout the shrink from in dealing with Gallimard. So basically in that area Songs "rule" applies. Gillimard wanted to believe his "love" was indeed a young , eastern woman. He refused to acknowlege otherwise because that was his " fantasy". However, I must disagree when " conventionality One" also states, Song " So a girl eject tell the most obnoxious lies and the guys will believe them every time--" (82 ) Again, as far as Songs relationship with Gillimard is concerned, it is again truthful. However, I think that would be an extreme exaggeration in speaking of "men" in general, n evertheless in terms of "men" in this play. I dont think Song could have fooled Marc for very long. I think perhaps we see some of Hwangs own experiences in his life poking through into the play. As Song explains , Rule Two " The West thinks of itself as masculine--big guns,big industry, big money--so the East is feminine--weak, delicate, poor...but good enough at art, and full of inscrutable wisdom--the feminine mystique." ( 83 ) Its possible Song interprets the West as such, at this point. If this is so, however, why does he/she also state, Song "The Chinese men--they keep us down." ? ( 43 ) It seems, at the tender era that Song is, everyone is keeping him/her "down". The men from the West, as well as men from the East. And yet Song seems to think as well, the East is passably powerful, deep inside.
