Thoughts on Madama Butterfly

9/19/16

"What the hell?"

1. Doll porn. O_O

2. I was confused as to why the man had come in the first place. My initial theory was that this was like Pocahontas, and the man had been looking to settle in this new land, but that changed when he left.

3. Why did the baby start as a fish?

4. When the man came back and decided to take the child as if it belonged to him alone, I literally threw my hands in the air. With the way this was produced, I was right there with the woman hoping that the man would come back and they would be a family. This shattered that hope.

5. Seeing the complete torment and eventual suicide that the mother underwent really shows the bond that a parent, and more specifically, a mother has with their baby. I felt truly sorry for her.

6. Lastly, was the last clip of the woman being brand new and back at the beginning of the piece  mean that the events would repeat themselves in a cycle? If so, why? What is the meaning behind this?

Ultimately, this was some weird stuff, but somehow I liked it. With how open ended it was, it left me wanting more and now I actually want to research about it and find its meaning.
