M Butterfly :: Madama Butterlfy

I ideate vocals "rules" may possibly be complete in his/her mind. After all, Song has deceived a somewhat in enumerateigent individualistic for over twenty years. I saying , Song " rein in unrivalled is " Men always believe what they want to hear." ( 82 ) I dont think that is entirely accurate,but Song has proven it to be throughout the play in dealing with Gallimard. So basically in that area Songs "rule" applies. Gillimard cherished to believe his "love" was indeed a young , Oriental woman. He refused to acknowlege otherwise because that was his " fantasy". However, I must disagree when "Rule adept" also states, Song " So a girl can tell the most obnoxious lies and the guys will believe them every time--" (82 ) Again, as farthest as Songs relationship with Gillimard is concerned, it is again truthful. However, I think that would be an organic exaggeration in speaking of "work force" in general, even in te rms of "men" in this play. I dont think Song could support fooled Marc for very long. I think perhaps we see some of Hwangs let experiences in his life poking through into the play. As Song explains , Rule Two " The due west thinks of itself as masculine--big guns,big industry, big money--so the East is feminine--weak, delicate, poor...but good 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 age 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 somewhat powerful, dense inside.
